My all time favorite Cinco de Mayo joke...

Most people don't know that, back in 1912, Hellman'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 great ship hit an iceberg and sank, with the cargo forever
lost.

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, had been eagerly
awaiting its delivery and 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.

This National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known,
of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

And one more...

The Mystery Golf Gun

Two Mexican detectives were investigating the murder of Juan Gonzalez.
"How was he killed?' asked one detective.
'"With a golf gun," the other detective replied.
"A golf gun? What's a golf gun?"
"I don't know, but it sure made a hole in Juan."
