Cinco de Mayo
**This post contains a joke I stole from my friend Jessica. It was too good not to steal.**
Today is Cinco de Mayo, when Mexicans celebrate the victory of the Mexican army over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It was really only a temporary victory, as the French defeated the Mexican army in 1863 and occupied the country until 1866.
Which was the last time the French put up a fight against really anyone.

Wow! That was a much needed laugh… thanks Jake (and Jessica for letting him steal it).
