A Grande List of Funny Cinco de Mayo Sayings
Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day. It’s actually the day the Mexican Army won a shocking victory against invading French forces in 1862. Not only does the holiday commemorate a great military victory, but also celebrates Mexican unity in the face of overwhelming odds.
At least, that was the original idea. Today, Cinco de Mayo is much more popular in the United States than in Mexico. Much like it’s Irish cousin Saint Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo is a good time for rollicking humor and all-around silliness. In that spirit, here’s a list of funny Cinco de Mayo sayings to share with your amigos.
