Thanks for posting the history of yesterday's Special Day. I shared it with my Rotary Club and it was a big hit.
For those who missed it:
Most people don’t know that 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 have been 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 lost forever.
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.

Proof northerners can’t do Mexican food
Edit: But it does look like a healthy serving of Sangria wine, so there's that.

Depends on the part of Mexico you are referring to. In the south, things aren't as spicy as in the northern desert.
@thefinn. I wasn’t even aware of that, I was comparing to what we eat here which is Tex-Mex. And the Mexicans here laugh at that, I couldn’t imagine how they would react to a taco made in New York City

There was an older couple on town. They had been married over 60 years. The old man was a grouch and constantly told his wife when I die I'm going to dig myself up and haunt you. He said it many times and the whole town knew about it.
He eventually died and was buried. The next day someone asked the widow if she was worried about the threatened haunting. She replied s follows. No, I had him buried face down and I know he won't ask for directions.
On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple were involved in a fatal car accident. The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.
While waiting they began to wonder; Could they possibly get married in Heaven?
When St. Peter arrived they asked him if they could get married in Heaven.
St. Peter said, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out," and he left.
The couple sat and waited for an answer.... for a couple of months.
While they waited, they discussed the pros and cons. If they were allowed to get married in Heaven, should they get married, what with the eternal aspect of it all? What if it doesn't work? Are we stuck in Heaven together forever?
Another month passed. St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat bedraggled.
"Yes," he informed the couple, "You can get married in Heaven."
"Great!" said the couple. "But we were just wondering; what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard on the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
"OH, COME ON!!!" St. Peter shouted. "It took me 3 months to find a priest up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take to find a lawyer?"
I use shampoo in the shower.
When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and
printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning:
"FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY."
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well! I have gotten rid of that shampoo and
I am going to start showering with Dawn dish soap instead.
Its label reads,
"DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE."
Calvin Coolidge was known as silent Cal for his short answers.
At a banquet, a lady approached President Coolidge and said, "Mr. President, my friends back home bet me five dollars I couldn't get you to say more than three words. What do you say to that sir?"
Coolidge, "You lose!"
