At the store I picked up a jar of light mayo. It seemed a meaningless descriptor as I've never seen anyone marketing dark mayo. I also get a bit confused when the weatherman calls for light rain.  |

Light rain has half the calories as regular rain.

Somebody just threw a jar of mayonnaise at me.
I was like, "What the Hellmann?"
Then we Duke'd it out.
It's a Miracle I didn't Whip him.
I was taken to the Mayo clinic.
Sorry, I couldn't Kraft a better pun.

Remind me to NEVER introduce you to a couple of my friends - one local, one in Charleston SC - both are big into "groaner" puns.....

Apparently my alleged sense of humor is not appreciated by many. I do enjoy word twists. It's, I think, because I speak English. In English many words have multiple unrelated meanings. I find intentional misunderstanding (distortion) amusing.  |

I believe this is the most humorous mayonnaise story extant.
For me, Sinko de Mayo is truly a day to celebrate.
Few people have come to know the “true” story of the origin of Sinko de Mayo. It is my pleasure to set the record straight.
A little known fact is 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 5 and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
If you believe this is unfairly demeaning to Mexican people, keep it to yourself.

I also get a bit confused when the weatherman calls for light rain. Our weatherman was just defunded for predicting dark skies this weekend. |
