As a Latina,
lesbian and female, I would rather not have to avoid cheap jokes like this on a
web site dedicated to archives.

When you celebrate the holiday today, think of this!!
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.
