Friday Funny
I'm a bit busy today so blogging will be light. But, here's a pretty good Cuban joke sent to me by reader Yamy: (translated)
A Cuban who was a very good man died and went to heaven. After having been there for hundreds of years, boredom set in and he asks God if he would be allowed to visit hell for one day to see what it is that he had missed."If that is your wish, then it will be so." God responded.
The Cuban man went to hell that night. He walked down beautiful marble stairs illuminated by brilliant gold fixtures. He came upon huge, neon lit doors that opened in a magnificent fashion. Beyond was a sort of Eden, beautiful gardens with rivers of 24 year old scotch, mountains of the most luxurious and decandent food were every where and all around were the most beautiful women he had ever seen. He went in and had the best time he had ever had in his life.
The next morning when he awoke in heaven he pleaded with God to send him back to hell forever.
God relented and granted his wish yet again.
The Cuban man packed his belongings and in a few days time was on his way back to hell. He went down the same magnificently lit marble staircase, came upon the same beautiful doors. But this time when the doors opened up there was nothing but fire and brimstone. Raging seas aflame and sheer cavernous darkness.
Shocked, the Cuban man asked the Devil: "What is this? I was here last week and everything was so beautiful. It was like Eden."
The Devil responded. "You, as a Cuban, should already know. Tourism is one thing. Living here is quite another."

This is very funny. And so to the point.
I have had several of these conversation lately with Iraqi exiles that travel to Cuba and see a few Cubans buying food in the tourist section and say, shit they got all the food they want. And are now claiming that the dissident groups in Cuba don't want Cuban exiles to take any positions in the next government.
I guess those would be government approved dissident groups. I wonder if I could buy on of those franchises, and how much for my own government approved dissident group?
