Reading some of the coverage concerning Fidel Castro last night and today I was reminded of this story:
A man went away on vacation and left his cat with his brother. Several days later he called home and asked, “how is my cat?”
After a pause the man’s brother hesitatingly tells him, “I’m sorry, but your cat has died.”
“That’s no way to break news like that. Couldn’t you have broken the news gently?” He asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Well,” the cat owner replied, “you could have said the cat was up on the roof and wouldn’t come down. When I called again later you could say something like, ‘the cat fell off the roof, but you took it to the vet who is doing everything he can’. Then you could have told me that the cat didn’t make it.”
“So, how’s mom?”
The brother told him, “She’s up on the roof and won’t come down.”
Via RedState:
Redstate is hearing from congressional sources that it has become apparent that the statement yesterday came after the surgery. This may indicate that Castro is in grave condition or is already dead.
So, is Castro on the roof?
