Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's Mayonnaise (known as Best Foods on the US West Coast) 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.... :D

OK, but what about Miracle Whip. When I was a young lad, I thought they were one in the same.

1. Mayo > Miracle Whip. Snot even close.

2. What do you call 4 Mexicans in quicksand?




Quatro Sinko

3. I once defended a chain-restaraunt from a civil case arising from an incident not-unlike the one Brother Critical Phil describes. Seems it all started with "... make that a cheeseburger, @sshole." So, when Ordering Dude came 'round to pick up his food, it got launched into his convertible, airmail. Dude comes out to protest, offering fisticuffs and Drive-Through Employee of the Month clocks him with the metal bar used to keep orders in a neat row. The Employee claimed it was a "defense rod" and that he'd been trained to use it as such. :eddie:

Defense.... employee was not acting within the course and scope of his employment and in fact, was acting outside the specific training received by employees therefore, summary judgment for the restaurant is proper.

Before summary judgment motion is ruled upon by the court, said restaurant pays a nuisance settlement of $2,500.00.

Yes?

Employee's testimony pretty much torpedoed SJ. MSJ's are not favored under OK law; it's yet another reason to try to get a case removed to federal court.

Yeah, it settled. Not for $2,500.

i guess i'm lucky i didn't hit mr. employee of the month. the burger didn't really hit the lady (the windows were closed). i had a bad (and quick) temper back then.

in my defense, i'd been driving for about 8 hours and all i wanted was a hamburger, (-) mayo, (+) mustard.

if it says (-) mayo, (+) mustard on the receipt, i get upset. nowdays, i don't throw anything. i just ask for my money back. of course they always offer to make me a new one or give me something free. no thanks, i'll just drive to taco bell.


then i go see if the retards at taco bell can make an order with no sour cream........

FYI...they can't. Taco Bell is by far the worst I've seen at getting any order change correct.

Also, I just tried to tell my wife I need a "defense rod" for protection. I don't think she's going for it. Maybe if I call it a "simmer-down stick" she'll let me have one.

Never....ever....ever....insult someone who's responsible for preparing your food where you can't see them do it.

From time to time, when the Wife Unit wishes to be a bit saucy, she'll advise me to "make it a cheeseburger".
