The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 10, 2015

He was on the cover of Newsweak.

Is this where he discovers that it should be a leftist revolution?

it’s no wonder, if he gave up those cigars he might be aboole to twist the lid right off that jar

Gopher…. and there was that Christmas party in 1967, when she found him kissing his secretary….

The Cuban mistletoe crisis.

And of course, his famous 1970 war of words with the then US Attorney General, which precipitated the Cuban/Mitchell crisis.

I know it didn’t involve Fidel…. but don’t forget the more recent disappearance of a Russian cargo ship bound for Havana…mysteriously lost at sea, with its whole cargo of police equipment….

Yeah, yeah…the Cuban whistle crisis.

(OK, OK…. so sue me.)

Then there was the disagreement at the opera company that came to fisticuffs over who would have the lead role in one of Beethoven’s operas … Fidelio’s cast row.

If Castro wanted clams and there were none would that mean there was a mussel crisis?

When is a door not a door?When it’s ajar.Sorry, it’s the best I could come up with.I’ll be moving on to some other comics now.

Being the weakling of the family he was named Miss Él.(A feeble attempt at Latino humor.)

Are we all about ready to drop this topic, in a Cuban crisis dismissal?

@ Everybody Lol! Those were real dillies!

jreckard: “one of”? Which one(s) have I missed?

Anyone remember when Cuba tried to appropriate our national anthem for their own use? Of course they changed the words a little:“Oh Che can you see….”

Hmm…so much for those strong-arm tactics (and I always heard that he wanted to be a beisbol pitcher!)

“the cuban gristle crisis…”I thought that was the day of pigs.

The day his car ran out of gas…the Cuban diesal crisis.
