    Reminds me of the Cuban man joke… while not directly appropriate… something something like:

    During my travels in the 1970s, I met a Cuban man in some bar at night discussing politics and Castro with his friends. I noticed he had an unusually short and stubby index finger. I asked him about it but he was too drunk to give a proper response.

    He did however let me crash at his house that night. I woke up to him returning from buying the morning newspaper, seems like daily routine. His wife had made breakfast and he sits down eagerly, looks at his wife and at me and then slaps the rolled newspaper on the table.

    I approach him to take a look and he, presses his index finger on the newspaper’s date. He proclaims loudly… “I’m telling you now (without opening the page)… This is the day Castro dies!”

    [I tried my best, if someone had the proper wording, let me know. My Google skills failed me]

    I wonder what the digital equivalent is…
