Joke for the holiday! not a bad one I promise!!! Well not in the pc sense, hehe hehe

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise
was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after it stopped in New York.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise
ever delivered to Mexico.... But as we know....the great ship did not make it to New York....The ship hit an iceberg and sank....and the cargo was forever lost....

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery....were disconsolate at the loss....

Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of
Mourning which they still observe to this day.... The National Day
of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th.... and is known....of
course....as Sinko de Mayo....

Yeah, Ballard brought a few of those bottles back up from his historic journey to the Titanic a couple years ago. when they opened one up to see how well it had aged, it was quickly dubbed stinko de Mayo.

Celebrated with a pitcher of mojitos! Any holiday that celebrates the kicking of the French is OK with me
