Today in History

[Southern Breeze]

Most people don't know that back 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 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 ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo
was forever lost.

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.

All I can say is if you were closer and I had a club.........

a rather large club, with nails, spikes and other various sharp things sticking out of it...

I love puns and can't wait till this evening while having a dinner out with the wife. She'll groan and then laugh

[Valencian Kilted]

Yep, maybe a spiked club wouldn't be enough,......


¡Salud!

[Kilted KT]

you think setting the spiked club on fire would help?

[cavscout]

All I can say is if you were closer and I had a club.........

or any other sandwhich would be fine!

Sorry, I'm so ashamed

Does someone who's closer to the culprit want to borrow my Lochaber axe?
