Long Boring Speeches

when an older man in the crowd was heard saying, “Peanuts Popcorn Cracker Jack.”

Castro didn’t break his stride but a few minutes later, a second voice was heard but with the same message, “Peanuts Popcorn Cracker Jack.”

This time the Bearded One seemed momentarily perturbed, probably wondering why the secret police hadn’t already scooped up the disrespectful cur.

But he continued the speech.

A few minutes later, yet another voice chimed, “Peanut Popcorn Cracker Jack.”

That did it.

The incensed Castro screams out, “The next person I hear say that — well, I will personally kick his ass all the way to Miami Beach!”

At which the whole crowd erupted, “Peanuts! Popcorn! Cracker Jack!”
