IJMC Ahh, To Be On The Beach

                  IJMC - Ahh, To Be On The Beach

Well, maybe it won't be until Labor Day, but I shall have my day in the 
sun! One way or another, although vacationing in Key West sounds like a 
good method...now if only Labor Day was tomorrow...               -dave








The Pope and Fidel were walking along Havana's Malecon (sea wall)
and a big gust of wind blew the Pope's little cap off which landed in
the sea.  A gracious host, Fidel bounded to the rescue, leaping the sea
wall and striding across the waves until he reached the cap, then turned
and walked back across the water until he reached the Pope and deposited
the somewhat damp little cap on the Pope's head.  All in front of 3000
journalists.

    Headlines in the Cuban daily Granma read:  Fidel Performs a
Miracle!  Walks on Water!.

    The daily newspaper in the Vatican had a different lead:  Pope
Does a Miracle!  Makes Fidel Walk on Water!

    But the the Miami Herald read it altogether differently.  Their
lead:  Aging Fidel Can't Swim!
