Fairy Godmayos Are Among Us…
If you don’t rate a guardian angel or even a fairy godmother, perhaps you can at least qualify for a Fairy Godmayo. This is the age of COVID, after all, and we’re all scaling back our expectations, so get with the program!
Amy Schumer plays our Godmayo, complete with shimmering golden wings, in a Hellmann’s Mayonnaise ad that originally aired on the 2021 Super Bowl. She materializes in some guy’s kitchen as he is carrying out an odd assortment of consumable items, including half an onion and an artichoke. Our Godmayo pronounces the assortment “sad,” and “a hot mess.” “What even IS an artichoke?,” asks the guy. “No one knows,” responds the winged one; some things are apparently beyond even paranormal explanation, and it’s better not to ask such questions. Then she shoos the guy out of her way, telling him to mind the wings, and performs a bit of mayonnaise magic. – –Poof! The pitiful collection of odd foodstuff has now become a presentable banquet!
“What else can you do?,” asks the guy of his strange visitor. “Absolutely nothing!,” she responds with refreshing honesty. Too bad the guy didn’t ask his Fairy Godmayo about her wings. They’re pretty, but clearly too small to support her body in flight. I guess that’s part of the Godmayo magic, but label me a skeptic. Perhaps the wings are a vestigial structure, or just a decorative rank of office. Further investigations need to be done, and this Godmayo’s origins and status clarified. Anyways, I prefer winged things that can actually fly, and I’m really more of a spicy mustard or horseradish than mayonnaise guy. When I bite into a sandwich, I like it to bite back. I’m certainly no angel… 🐺

I’m not sure what kind of demigod/goddess you’ll be sent for that… 🤔
