The huge burrito only becomes a weapon after ingestion.

Can I be the first to say it, please, please?

Is that a burrito in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

LOL!

What came to mind was my NBC training during basic, don pro-mask and shout "Gas! Gas! Gas!" then go to MOPP4.

Spent last week in Houston, TX eating some of these weapons. Almost killed my wife the night of my return.

The same slimy place banana daquiris come from, I'd guess.

No wonder why at the tracks I've been at, there's no burritos :-)
