Should I celebrate by throwing a jar of Miracle Whip in the pool?

It is really a minor holiday in Mexico. Just a recognition of a victory in a battle.

LOL, billb!
"The Battle of Puebla took place on 5 May 1862 near the city of Puebla during the French intervention in Mexico. The battle ended in a victory for the Mexican Army over the occupying French forces. The French eventually overran the Mexicans in subsequent battles, but the Mexican victory at Puebla against a much better equipped and larger French army provided a significant morale boost to the Mexican army and also helped slow the French army's advance towards Mexico City." |
