Cinco de Mayo!
For those that assume it's Mexican Independence Day....it's not. It is the day in which they commemorate a victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla.
They commemorate with large amounts of Tequila, apparently.
Americans tend to simply commemorate that it's the Fifth of May....with large amounts of Tequila.
On the Fifth of May, everybody becomes a Mexican, similar to the way that everybody becomes an Irish Catholic on St. Patrick's Day.
Of course, St. Patrick had to drive the Snakes (Druids) out of Ireland (by slaughtering them, no doubt). The Mexicans simply had to defeat the French.
And we all know the history of French warfare. It's best summed up by Janitor Willie, who refers to them as "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys."
Those of my brethren often refer to days like this as "amateur night." When far too many people drink far too much and wind up doing far to many stupid things.
Be careful, my friends.
Most of you are funny to watch when you're drunk; and I would miss that if you were jailed or in otherwise incapacitated.
Ole! And whatnot.....
