OFFICIAL MESSAGE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC FORMER PRESIDENT OF CUBA FIDEL CASTRO, TO THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE OF CUBA AND ANYONE ELSE DEMOCRATIC EXCEPT ALL ENEMIES OF CUBA, WHO SHOULD DELETE THIS MESSAGE

 
The Nuffield Hospital, Cienfuegos. March 2008.

 

 
My compatriots, it has already been several days since I resigned as President. I vowed then to keep you clasped tightly to my man-breasts, that I might continue to nourish you with my revolutionary thoughts, anecdotes and brain teasers.
 
From now on I will be recording a four-hour speech here every Sunday in the residents' lounge, for weekly broadcast on state radio. My compatriots, do not think that there will not be opportunities to go to the toilet. There will, on the contrary, be many opportunities to go to the toilet. We will go to the toilet together. I, talking as I go to the toilet here. You, as you listen to the radios in your toilets at home.
 
Who has taken my biscuits? I left them right here on the table, in 1959. Garibaldi, my favourite. I repeat, which counter-revolutionary fucker among you has taken my cocksucking biscuits?
 
Comrades, my body may be frailer than it was, 50 years ago, when I first had the honour to lead this proud nation, but my mind goes on and on like one of those endless pisses in the middle of the night when your prostate's still half asleep.
 
Of course the capitalist adventurers, the Yanqui playboys, the effete psychiatric consultants tell us we are isolated in the world. Isolated! Pah! This is the propaganda of a brain that is sick with the festering pus of the infection of the untreated wound of the battle of ideas. There are those who say 'Fidel, your friends are imaginary. Settle down, have a biscuit...' I say this. My friends are not imaginary. If Senor Dementia and Senor Alzheimer are imaginary, how is it possible for them to stand shoulder to shoulder with me in the day-room and continue this revolution in my head?
 
My brother Raul is doing a magnificent job of taking Cuba forward to face the challenges of the 1970s. There are, naturally, those backbiters and anklesnappers who sneer and wobble, slightly out of focus. They adduce the lesson of that great working class parable Only Fools And Horses - which incidentally my fellow Cubans has been going almost as long as I. They whisper with their halitosis that The Plonker Raul is no worthy successor to Fidelboy Trotter, icon of the oppressed peoples of the world. I say piss in their drinks when they are not looking. Unless it is one of those pisses I referred to earlier, in which case you will almost certainly be discovered.
 
Already Raul, with my blessing, has outlined important plans to improve our glorious nation. We will make Havana the premier smoking destination of the world, with magnificent cigar-shaped buildings: Los Gherkinos. We will compulsorily purchase Guantanamo Bay and turn it into a big Butlins. We will find the biscuits.
 
There have been many critics over the last half century but most of them are dead now. Also, say what you like about the political prisoners and the shitty housing. We have consistently got up America's arse for 50 years, so let us have a bit of respect where respect is due, which brings me on to my first point.
 
Fidel Castro
