Mexico and Mayonnaise
(México y mayonesa)
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 he 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. 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. The National
Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as
- Sinko De Mayo.

Is that true?!?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was spelled Cinko De Mayo.
I like that one a lot. Almost as much as the Mexican chariot racer I heard about, Ben Hernandez.

ReplyDeleteDenny would be proud, and the readership would groan :-p. Sunrise, sunset.
ReplyDeleteYou can learn a lot of Spanish from everyday life. Like La Quinta. That's Spanish for 'behind Denny's.'

You yanks are always very polite to Hispanics. e.g. At every ball game you ask "Jose´, can you see?" ;-)
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that famous Mexican football player, El,Paso.
ReplyDeleteYou guys have no shame. I tried to come up with a bad pun but I got nuthin.

I still get a chuckle out of Rodge's MexiCanon cartoon from back when. But, I'm pretty sure he's evolved a bit since then. I'm mean, I doubt he'd ever post that again...hint, hint.
