Fidel CastroÂ’s son says father is getting better
2007-01-15
SANTIAGO - Cuba’s ailing leader Fidel Castro, not seen in public since surgery nearly six months ago, is on the mend, his son and namesake Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart told local media during a visit to Chile, the El Mercurio newspaper reported on Sunday. ‘He’s getting better, better, I see him improving,’ Castro Junior, also known as ‘Fidelito’ because of how much he looks like his father, said after the inauguration of a scientific center in southern Chile on Saturday.
"The rigor mortis is almost all worn off! That's a good sign, right?"
His son said on Saturday that the Cuban leader was in a ‘positive and optimistic mood.’
I'm positively optimistic that the old goat is gonna croak soon.
The younger Castro, a physicist who studied in the ex-Soviet Union, did not comment further on his fatherÂ’s health.
"I can say no more!"

#6  FIDEL:
I'm not dead!
MORTICIAN:
What?
RAUL:
Nothing. Here's your pesos.
FIDEL:
I'm not dead!
MORTICIAN:
'Ere. He says he's not dead!
RAUL:
Yes, he is.
FIDEL:
I'm not!
MORTICIAN:
He isn't?
RAUL:
Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.
FIDEL:
I'm getting better!
RAUL:
No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
MORTICIAN:
Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
FIDEL:
I don't want to go on the cart!
RAUL:
Oh, don't be such a baby.
MORTICIAN:
I can't take him.
FIDEL:
I feel fine!
RAUL:
Well, do us a favour.
MORTICIAN:
I can't.
MORTICIAN:
Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
MORTICIAN:
No, I've got to go to the Rodriguez'. They've lost nine today.
RAUL:
Well, when's your next round?
MORTICIAN:
Thursday.
FIDEL:
I think I'll go for a walk.
RAUL:
You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do?
RAUL: [singing]
I feel happy. I feel happy.
[whop]
RAUL:
Ah, thanks very much.
MORTICIAN:
Not at all. See you on Thursday.

There's the early leader in the 'Understated Snark of the Week' award. LOL!

#2  Mostly dead better or pining for the fjords better? Hopefully, Madame Tussaud's will do a good job on Fidel's commie corpse. I look forward to visiting it one day when Cuba is free.
