This all started after Tony Montana led the Mexicans to victory over the Swiss in the Great War of Sinko de Mayo. In the aftermath NASA was left with little choice but to start the PAARP program to keep our southern neighbors in check.

@Zaphod42 Indeed Sir, but this all ended when the panzers sunk the Bismark.

@Zaphod42] this is patently false, ignorant and a mockery of my people's tragedy:
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.

@basilfawlty89 Sir. While you can be assured that I have the utmost respect for your historical accuracy I feel that it is beholden to myself to inform you that the cargo was not Helman's but was in fact HP sauce.
