Happy Mayonnaise Day!

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 its stop 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.

Hell Man, that's the worst joke I've ever heard. I suppose you practice your Kraft every day? You better put up your Dukes- it's a Miracle if someone doesn't Whip your hide for that one!
