Cute Joke!

One of my favorite websites for work-surfing is mentalfloss.com.

To remember the sinking of the Titanic yesterday, one of their bloggers wrote an article reciting little known facts.

But, the funniest fact that got me was from a reader, known only as "Witty Nickname". I laughed, and laughed....

"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 New York City.

Mexicans were crazy about the stuff.

The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate(”desperados”) at the loss. So much so that they declared a national day of mourning which they still observe today.
It is known, of course, as …sinko de Mayo."
