Q: What is Cinco de Mayo?

A: A holiday celebrating Mexican heritage and the fact that everyone in Alpha Phi is done with finals.

Q: Is Cinco de Mayo the same thing as Mexican Independence Day?

A: No, Mexican Independence Day is on September 16, but Diez y Seis de Septiembre was too clunky to catch on with beer distributors.

Q: I know the date commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over the French during the Battle of Puebla, but I forget: Was that under the leadership of General López de Santa Anna?

A: No, dumbfuck. You’re thinking of General Ignacio Zaragoza.
