>1. The master looked upon the crowd as they were locked in throes of a
>great conflagration and spoke to them.
>
>2. There once was a maker of tacos called Juan. He was very successful in
>his home town of Santo Poco and was well known for making the best tacos in
>the land. Sadly, all the lands around Santo Poco were struck with a
>horrible blight that caused the tortillas to wilt on the vine and made them
>unsuitable for harvest.
>
>3. So Juan and his family travelled far to the north, to a land where tacos
>were few and far between, and there he opened a small taco stand to feed
>those who hungered for tacos.
>
>4. The customers came to the stand, and among them was one named Rafael.
>His grandparents also came from the lands to the south, and he was widely
>considered to be an expert on all things taco. Rafael examined the menu
>quite closely and proclaimed "That's not a taco. A 'real' taco contains
>cheese, lettuce, beef/chicken, diced tomatoes, and hot sauce within a
>crunchy corn or soft flour taco shell."
>
>5. And Rafael turned and left the taco stand without partaking of Juan's
>tacos.
>
>6. Seeing that Rafael had snubbed the taco stand, the customers also
>examined the menu and agreed that the tacos sold at the stand were not real
>tacos, and then they also left.
>
>7. Juan's hart was heavy with sorrow, and his shelves were full of unsold
>tacos.
>
>8. But there were a small number of customers that were of adventurous
>palate. They tried the tacos of Juan's taco stand and found them quite
>pleasing. Some said "It's not a real taco, but it's still good," and
>others proclaimed "Hey, I like this." Then one named Alfonzo said "This is
>a lot better than those crap tacos they sell down the street".
>
>9. Juan's spirits were lifted, and his shelves were emptied day after day.
>
>10. Then the master looked at the confused crowd and explained.
>
>11. A taco is not in the cheese, or beef, or crispy shell. A taco is in
>the warm, happy feeling you have after eating it... oh, and in the
>cillantro it's seasoned with... and the cervesa you drink with it... and
>the sliced hot peppers, got to have those.
>
>12. And the crowd became very annoyed and pummeled the master greatly and
>with much vigor, and went on to debate the merits of tamales.

>>must be from California.

>>Which if you have even been to Mexico you know is not the way they serve
>>a taco...
