While the great majority of you are very familiar with the story of the Titanic sinking, many of you may not know about this bit of history..........
The Titanic was carrying hundreds of cases of mayonnaise in its cargo. This Mayonnaise was headed to Mexico (Mexicans love their mayonnaise). Obviously, this cargo was lost at sea when the tragic sinking of the Titanic took place.
Mexico still celebrates this day. They call it Cinco De Mayo.

Oh, so it’s a pun off you want....
A Russian named Rudolf gazed out the window at his dreary neighborhood. “It was already gloomy, and now it’s starting to rain! “That’s not rain,” corrected his wife, Anya. “It’s sleet.” “That’s not sleet, it’s rain,” he insisted. “Sleet,” she snapped. “No!” he shouted. “Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!”

This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

In divorce court Mickey Mouse explains to the judge that he never said Minnie was crazy, but rather she was just f%^@ing goofy.
