Speaking of Cinco de Mayo, it's something that some people don't do here in Delaware.
A couple of customers, when writing their cheques to pay their bills, asked me what the date was. "It's May 4th, the day before Cinco de Mayo," I replied.
"What's that?" they asked (each in their turn, not simultaniously).
"It's sort of the Mexican version of Independence Day," I replied.
Believe it or not, both ladies (in separate incidents) blinked, and then asked "Are YOU Mexican???!!!"
"Uh, no, but I'm from California."
The first lady laughed at that.
I wish the second lady had laughed. Instead she went into a short rant against illegal immigrants. I didn't like her as much. I guess she didn't realize that, without said immigrants, most of what she had just bought wouldn't have been in her shopping cart, at least not for the low price she had just paid.
