THE ULTIMATE: Burrito Incident
Thursday, October 15, 2009 - John Greene
In May of 2005, middle school student Michael Morrissey created a 30-inch long burrito as part of a class assignment to create a commercial ad campaign for a product. “We had to make up a product and it could have been anything. I made up a restaurant that specialized in oddly large burritos,” Morrissey said.
Unfortunately, the 30-inch Mexican meal, wrapped in aluminum foil, apparently looked like a weapon to someone watching Morrisey walkingo to class at Marshall Junior High school in Clovis, New Mexico. The police were called and the school was soon flooded by armed offers and tactical team members determined to find the suspected bomb or gun before it was used. In the meantime, 30 parents who heard of the incident over the radio came to the school to make sure their kids were safe from the steak burrito (rice, beans, and guacamole, if you were wondering.)
Morrissey turned himself in once he heard the description of the item the police were looking for. Brandishing the burrito in the principal’s office, he informed everyone that the reason for parents pulling 75 students out of school as armed police swarmed the halls was delicious.
Michael graduated high school this year; no word on whether or not he’s buying a Taco Bell franchise or going to college.
