Cinco de Mayo

A few of my gringo friends ask me the meaning of Cinco de Mayo every year so I thought I would give the full unabridged and comprehensive answer here.

It all started on a cool April morning in 1843 in Mexico. It was the middle of the Mexican war of independence against their Mayan overlords. General Chimichanga was leading an offensive for the Mexican army and was marching north to meet the Mayans at Fajita Hill. He knew he would be out-numbered so he sent his mariachi band to contact the Burrito Boys in Tijuana to request their assistance in battle. He was not sure if they would agree or even arrive in time for the battle (they were located 23.5 miles away). When General Chimichanga arrived at Fajita Hill on May 5 he was amazed to find the Burrito Boys and their leader Commander Nacho Cheese got there first and decimated the Mayans on there own with less than 20 men. The Mayans fled north to Alamo, Texas effectively ending the Mexican war for independence.
General Chimichanga gets most of the credit for winning the Mexican war for Independence on Cinco de Mayo, but Commander Nacho Cheese was the real hero. He and the Burrito Boys saved Mexico from the Mayans.

Cidiot: Gosh this town is so white trash. I mean, I actually saw someone driving a pick up truck yesterday. And the day before that, believe it or not I actually saw a full-blooded African American. I say we replace every store with a tourist trap and drive all those damn blacks and rednecks out and make it so only us and poor immigrants can live here.
5 years later: Gosh nobody lives in this town besides Guatemalens in the MS-13. We should definitely move to another small town....
