Hellmann's Mayonnaise - a bit of what?
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.
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.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of
course, as —
Sinko De Mayo

That reminded me of the old chestnut, 'What do you call four Puerto Ricans standing in quicksand?'
Quatro sinko.
@Lustig Andrei,
"Sinko mayo" you say! LOL
@Region Philbis,
I'm against same cereal marriages - and I worry when they adopt children - they might get wet and end up like their adoptive parents.
@cicerone imposter,
Sad story. Snap, crackle but no pop - just a sugar pop.
Stepan reminded me of this one:
What's the difference between a sports administrator and a shopping trolley?
They both hold about the same amount of booze and food, but the trolley is easier to control.

In our musicians circle it's an accordion player.
@panzade,
That would explain why there are so many accordion players who have been recently busking on the subway these days.
@tsarstepan,
Really? In New York city?
@tsarstepan,
How do you get a bass player off your front porch?
Pay him for the pizza.

They tend to play French tango music but I hear they tend to be of Mexican descent.
@panzade,
An accordion player mistakenly left his car unlocked near Central Park in NYC. When he discovered his error, he was horrified, He hastily returned only to find 2 accordions in his car instead of just one.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST WORRISOME STATISTICS IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
25% of women in this country are on medication for mental illness!
That's scary as hell, it means 75% are running around with no medication at all.
