Mot:  The History of Cinco de Mayo......... ((( What YOu Didnt Learn in History Class ))) .........

Did you you know that back in 1912, Hellmann's Mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 bottles of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest 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 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.

WHAT??? You expected something educational from me?

You need a shot of Tequila!

Mot:  .. but you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’....

""Fred"" and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year ""Fred"" would say, 'Esther, I'd like to ride in that helicopter.' Esther always replied, 'I know ""Fred"", but that Helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.'

 One year Esther and ""Fred"" went to the fair, and ""Fred"" said, 'Esther, I'm 85 Years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.' To this, Esther replied, '""Fred"" that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.'

The pilot overheard the couple and said, 'Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride, and if you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word, I won't charge you. But if you say one word, it's fifty dollars.'

""Fred"" and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a word.

When they landed, the pilot turned to ""Fred"" and said, 'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!'

""Fred"" replied, 'Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’
