I got this from my dad. I find it hilarious.




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
 
 
 
Funny right?!
