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

people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly

I heard this here about 8-9 years ago and told it to a friend who
never lets me forgot it ever May 5th. I took my yearly beating last
