Quote Of The Day by Teacher317

Thanks for the post. I WISH the media would make a bigger deal out of this.

[Rome2000]

The officer offered to have Chávez call Castro back, but the secretary explained that the Cuban was in a secret location and could not be phoned. The officer gave the radio station the number of Chávez's private line.

''Hello Fidel!'' booms Chávez.

''Did you receive my letter?'' asks Castro.

''Of course I received it,'' replies Chavez. ``I spoke with Germán.''

''I'm all set to collaborate with you,'' Castro says.

As the nonsequiturs start, El Vacilón fakes trouble on the line to disguise the rejoinders that don't make sense.

''Yes, brother, how's it going?'' Chávez asks.

''I'll do what you're asking me to,'' Castro replies.

''I don't understand,'' a bewildered Chávez says.

''But I'm going to be harmed, I confess to you,'' Castro says.

Silence from Chávez. Castro goes on: ``Everything's set for Tuesday.''

''Everything's set for Tuesday,'' Chávez repeats, obviously befuddled. ``I don't understand.''

Santos then breaks in and announces they were calling from Miami. Complete silence from Chávez. Santos launches into a tirade: ''Terrorist! Animal! Murderer!'' plus a few choice four-letter nouns. ``You're finishing off the Venezuelan people!''

Santos then hangs up.
