Best Cuban Joke Ever

Mario Loyola’s translation made me laugh out loud.

It can only be better in Spanish.

Update:

It is, slightly. Loyola kindly sent me the original.

Vladimir Putin en una reciente visita que hizo a Cuba encontró que la mayoría de los cubanos tenían los zapatos rotos, y le preguntó a Fidel

Oye chico, cómo es posible esto después de 40 años de “mejoras”?

Fidel molesto le contestó : ¿ y en Rusia qué, Chico ? ¿ es que acaso ustedes lo han hecho mejor?

Ombe chico, le contestó Putin, cuando quieras te invito a Rusia y si te encuentras a alguien con los zapatos rotos tienes permiso para matarlo. No hay problemas…

Se montaron en el avión de Putin y fueron a Rusia. En cuanto Fidel salió del avión lo primero que vio fue una persona con los zapatos rotos, entonces sacó su pistola y PUM, lo mató.

Al día siguiente todos los periódicos de Rusia tenían el siguiente titular:

VIEJO BARBUDO MATA AL EMBAJADOR DE CUBA EN EL AEROPUERTO DE MOSCU

I was wrong

Well, I hoped I would be.

Something still smells funny about the plane crash, though. I can’t imagine what level of distraction would have me fly into the broad side of a high rise building while looking for a place to ditch. Maybe it was a bad case of eyes in the cockpit or a stall/spin.

Glad it wasn’t terrorism, though.

Maybe they think the Genius Bar serves booze

Some Islamists are upset about the NY Apple store.

According to the message, the cube-shaped building which is being constructed in New York City, on Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets in midtown Manhattan, is clearly meant to provoke Muslims.

The Register reports

Sadly, it’s a bit late for that, since the store opened for business back in May. We do have some good news, though. As far as we’re aware it’s not called the “Apple Mecca”, it does not serve alcoholic beverages, and neither Jack Straw nor Salman Rushdie work behind the counter.

LGFHas a theory that maybe they reacted to what it looked like under construction. Or maybe that the vile moonbat at sfgate, to whome I shall not link, started it.
