I could do this

So back in the 1960's when Kennedy was president, Fidel Castro was a rising power in Cuba. Kennedy didn't like that. So he asked the CIA to come up with ways to get rid of him. Here are three plans from some of our nation's most brilliant minds.

1. Put a cream into Castro's foot powder that would make him lose his hair. This would undermine his manly image, and the Cuban people would abandon him. It didn't work.

2. Send Castro a box of exploding cigars, because a leader with no face would be a joke to the Cubans, and they wouldn't follow him again. This failed when the CIA mailed it from the main CIA office in Langley. Fidel never even opened the box.

3. Dress up a Navy Seal as Jesus. Send him to scuba dive as a 'frogman Jesus' and swim up on the shore. Have ships in the water playing 'holy music.' As people would come, frogman Jesus would tell these people that he wanted to establish his kingdom here. He needed to see their democratically elected leader. When he found out that they didn't have a democratically elected leader, he would say, 'thats to bad' and leave. The Cubans would then revolt because Castro was the reason Jesus left Cuba. When Kennedy heard of this plan, he put the kibosh on it. To bad, huh??
