A brainstorm session at the Axis of Evil headquarters in Havana:

Xi: "Okay folks, we need to come up with a new weapon to use against those pig-dog yankee imperialists. Any ideas?"

Kim Jong-Un: "What about sharks with friggin' laser beams attached to their heads?"

Putin: "Enough with the sharks! We've talked about this a million times!"

Maduro: "What about a big scary death ray that goes: Zap! Zap! Zap! We'll put it on a million giant robots and..."

Xi: "Okay, okay... Death rays are a good idea. Our evil communist scientists will be able to make one, because unlike the good scientists of the free Western world they are deceitful and cheat."

Putin: "A death ray, seriously? That has been done a million times. Can't we come up with something more original?"

Díaz-Canel: "This death ray is not your average death ray because... uhmm... It's a stealth death ray!"

Putin: "Stealth?"

Díaz-Canel: "Yeah, you won't even know you've been shot with it!"

Putin: "So your death ray actually doesn't do anything?"

Díaz-Canel: "It does! It gives them symptoms. Symptoms of... uh... A hangover!"

Xi: "I say we roll with it. It's the best we could come up with"
