The Jalapeno and the Taco

Why is the jalapeno chile chasing the hard shell taco? How did the chile acquire that weapon? Why is the taco wearing glasses? Are they running away from the US or towards the US? Is this a failed drug deal? Did the taco try to slip in a serrano or a pequin or a habanero instead of the jalapeno? Did the jalapeno crack after hearing one too many "Hey girl, you hot!" jokes?

Note that the taco is wearing pants but the jalapeno isn't. Note also that although the taco is running for his life, his lettuce and tomatoes seem to be staying put. And lastly, pay close attention to the jalapeno's sombrero. It doesn't have a top, just a hole where the top of the jalapeno's hairless head sticks through.

It appears to be warm out, but only the jalapeno is sweating, though that may be the nature of this particular chile bandido. And, clearly, anatomically speaking, the chile does not appear to be female, but she appears to be getting so much pleasure out of this chase that any interpretation is possible.

You can do further research by walking into Taco Loco on 29th and Mission. While doing your work, try the caldo de res or the huevos rancheros or the best carnitas in town.
