A few years ago I designed a Cinco de Mayo poster for a local bar that featured a picture of five jars of mayonnaise.

When my dad told me this one back in 1976, I groaned.

1. Apostrophes. Please.

2a. Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico's victory over the French in a localized battle which, in Mexico, is only celebrated in that region. It is only a national holiday in the USA, because, like "Saint Patrick's Day," it is considered a reason to drink.

2b. The battle itself was nominally inconclusive. As you might imagine in a battle between the Mexicans and the French, nobody knew what the heck was going on.

3. Yes, even Mexicans can kick France's ass in battle. Sort of.

And that's all you need to know about Cinco de Mayo.

With compliments, G.

Since the illegals don’t want “Trump supporters” misappropriating their Sinko de Mayo beer holiday, I suggest we Americans start our own beer holiday observing the Battle of San Jacinto. We can have contests to see who can chug the most beers in 18 minutes. (The length of the battle).

You know, Mexicans, at least in LA, put mayo on ears of corn, like this joke.

Actually, this festive day is a celebration of the current Mayor of Poopville (San Francisco), Mark Ferrell (shown below), who is affectionately known as "Stinky the Mayor".   (And that is where the name of this festive day comes from.)   ("Cinco de Mayo" means "Stinky the Mayor" in Mexiholic Spanish.)

Hellman’s had something to do with it, although west of the Rockies it was Best Foods.
