For anyone who ever said that they didn’t like Mondays obviously never ran around their office with a whistle, a sombrero hat, and a pitcher of margaritas because today on Cinco De Mayo, it’s okay to ride your lucky goat to work, do tequila shots in the bathroom, and bust open a pinata in your bosses office because it’s the anything goes holiday. Where the crazier you are the better.

Of course while every Mexican bar in America will be packed tonight with people drinking until they pass out, in Mexico, Cinco De Mayo is barely even celebrated. We tend to think that it’s a celebration of Mexican independence, but it’s not. It commemorates some battle the Mexicans had against the French over a hundred years ago. Some battle that they don’t even care about.

In actuality, the outlandish, booze-filled, holiday was probably appropriated by American tourists who wanted to relive their college spring break days.

But who am I to complain because when I can start my week off with body shots on top of the Xerox machine, it’s going to be a good week.
