Baltimore, MD (KTNV) -- A student in Baltimore was suspended over breakfast.

7-year-old Josh Welch was eating a Pop-Tart at school. A teacher saw the pastry and said she thought it looked like it was being shaped into a gun.

The teacher also said she heard Welch say, "Bang Bang" while he was holding it.

That was enough to get him suspended.

Welch said his teacher got it completely wrong, "It was already a rectangle and I just kept on biting it and tore off the top, and it kind of looked like a gun but it wasn't."

Welch said he was trying to shape the Pop-Tart into a mountain.

The school sent out a letter late in the day to parents explaining what happened and why they thought it was a threat saying, "A student used food to make an inappropriate gesture."

Welch was suspended for two days.

I heard about this.

This kid's gonna go far. I recall hearing him quoted as saying that his only problem with it was that he was hungry because he didn't get to finish the pop tart. Nice kid.

Local radio show guy suggested banning Oklahoma.

Welch said he was trying to shape the Pop-Tart into a mountain...

His mistake was, he should have said he was trying to make it into a mole hill.

Then, he could leave it up to the school police to make a mountain out of that.

Okay?

He should count his blessings. If he were in North Korea caught doing this, he
would have been sent to the goulag for two YEARS.

Pop-tarts are lethal, regardless of their shape:

I still eat my foods into shapes.

I was once sent to the principal's office for making a gun with my hand in first grade. My teacher didn't like me, though, and she was a health freak.

I like to spin my Kim Chee into little targets with arrows stuck in the bull's eye.
Then I like to show it to the waiter in a wonderful Korean restaurant, but then
I'm surprised to find he doesn't want to talk about the land 120 miles north of
Seoul.

That's why I'll never be a tourist in North Korea. That is, if I ever am, you'll
all know why I no longer post on CI.

Or maybe a nice flintlock banana?

Okay, someone with the computer smarts tell me why this image comes out
fine and the one MiserereMeiDeus posted does NOT come out fine. It's the
same code. What's up with that???

Anyway, I think I'm getting hungry. I'm trying to think: what can we do with
the bacon, the hash browns, the toast?

Anyone with a boy who has a low appetite for breakfast might want to "give this
one a shot!" :ready-to-eat:

I can see them doing this as a special in a restaurant, but I suppose you'll have
to go to good ol' Texas to find one! 'Cause no L.A. cafe would dare try this.

Furthermore, congrats on the banana-flintlock. That's the best-looking banana
I've ever seen in my LIFE!!

How did they carve it all up before the innards started to turn brown, is what I
want to know. Unbelievable. And the scrollwork is second to none. Does he
want a job doing firearms engraving????

Did you notice there is a flathead screw right on the front end of the gunstock?

Incredible. Notify Incredulous. They're cutting in on his territory.
