How to: laugh alot.

Ingredients:

- One uninformed or misinformed person from another country.
- Previously mentioned person being a very prideful kind of guy.
- One offer that is made to trick people into falling for it.
- One huge burrito.

Let me explain. Last summer, Heather and I hosted a student in our home from a country in North Africa, who was here to learn about the culture and whatnot. Let’s call him “Mo”. Mo was very prideful, and thought he knew best about many things.

We decide to goto a popular mexican resturant while he was here, called Frontera. At Frontera, you can order a burrito called “El Gigante.” If you manage to eat ALL of El Gigante, they will give you a free shirt that says “I survived El Gigante.” Mo, unable to fathom how it could be larger than his hunger, confidently ordered one, from the incredibly amused waiter.

Before the burrito arrived, Mo sized up what he is expecting from the burrito:

Mo’s estimation of length.

Mo’s estimation of, uh, girth.

The burrito arrives. Mo is correct in length estimation, but the sour cream/lettuce/tomatoes totally dwarf his guess at height/width.

That long skinny, hairy arm is mine, and its holding what I ate that fateful meal. A single, hard-shelled, taco. Keep in mind, this is the end of the meal, and Mo’s plate shows him at the end of his feeding frenzy of trying to eat the super burrito. It totally pwned him.

I had another picture where I tried to take a picture of him, but he was holding his hands in the way saying “no papparazi! no papparazi!” Good times. The stupid camera must have eaten it.

very much enjoyed the burrito story…not too excited with the link…I probably wouldn’t be scared, but would be very mad, esp. if the “light saber” hit me…sounded pretty hard when it hit the bed.
