Since the beginning of time, ugly girls have always gotten in the way of attempts to hook up with their more attractive friends. To neutralize these women, homies have begun “taking one for the team” and either distracting these swamp-donkeys, or when absolutely necessary, even taking one of these women home.

The first recorded case of taking one for the team occurred in Cuba in 1955. Fidel Castro was trying to do work with a young woman from the ruling class who’s unattractive sister was cock-blocking him. Fidel, thinking on his feet, quickly called over his boy Che Guevara and had him tell the sister his theories on revolution. The sister was so taken with Che and his beret, she forgot about her sister and Fidel.

When asked about the night later, Fidel said: “That night is the reason Cuba is so well known for its cigars.”
