Contrary to a surprising public belief, Cindo de Mayo is not a holiday of independance. It celebrates the battle of Puebla(1862), when 2000 Mexican soldiers beat back 6000 French attackers under the rule of Napolean III. This is also the day that Napolean died. So far as I understand it, the holiday is celebrated much more in the US than in Mexico. We can thank the Corona beer company and college students for this.

Get the Cinco de Mayo mug.1.) A good city with HOT WOMEN, but a very LARGE crime rate. They were thinking about putting up a wall to trap escaping bullets from the downtown area of the city, but instead lifted all speed limits so that travelers could go faster without being shot.
Brazilian A: Let's do a driveby!
Brazilian B: We can't since the speed limit was lifted. People drive way to fast, and I can't even hit them
Brazilian A: Fuck you, man

Get the Fils de pute mug.If you don't know what cinco de mayo is, it's a celebration of Mexico's 1862 victory in battle over France, although France, who previously had not won a war since 1066, later won the war against Mexico. However, since the Mexicans beat the French for this one battle, Mexicans took their cue from the Irish (who don't actually celebrate St. Patrick's Day, from what I can tell). The Mexicans said, "Okay, hey, let's do a pub crawl!!!!!' Except they said it in Spanish. Which makes me wonder why Mexicans would do a pub crawl, seeing as how Mexico doesn't seem to have a lot of pubs, seeing as how it's Mexico and not Ireland. But never mind that now. You should also never mind the fact that cinco de mayo is more widely celebrated here in the States than it is in Mexico.
