Q. “Why do the Cuban police operate in groups of three?”

Great, an old communist dictator whose latest achievement is the ability to wear Depends.
Castro decides to go out one day and see what it’s really like for the workers, so he puts on a disguise and sneaks out of the Cuban mansion. After a while he wanders into a cinema. When the film has finished, the Cuban Anthem plays and a huge picture of Castro appears on the screen. Everyone stands up and begins singing, except Fidel, who smugly remains seated. A minute later a man behind him leans forwards and whispers in his ear: “Listen Comrade, we all feel exactly the same way you do, but trust me, it’s a lot safer if you just stand up.”

Fidel Castro for decades has provided free university education, and free health care to the people of Cuba, something no U.S. President has ever been able to provide the American people. Also, the Cuban people export medical doctors to the world while the U.S.of A. exports warplanes, bombs, torture, and guns to the world.
