GOP hopeful Mitt Romney on Monday mistakenly told Cuban exiles that he loved vaginas.
During a campaign stop at a Miami juice shop owned by convicted cocaine trafficker Reinaldo Bermudez, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate spoke with the hosts of Radio Mambí, a station run by Cuban exiles.
Theyre waiting for you with a mamey and a guayaba Cuban fruits here in Miami, do you like those? one of the host asked.

(6,801 posts)All he said was that he liked papaya. Apparently that's slang in Cuba. I was hoping for something more.
Like if a cuban said he wanted to store something in a box. Giggle giggle, that's slang for something else sometimes!
/just don't ask for shaved papaya you sick bastard.

To make papaya refer to vagina around here you'd have to put context around it that made it work that way. Just in a list of fruits, talking obviously about fruits? No way, sorry.
This is about like using the word brownie in the US. In a list of things served at a dinner, not really any joke there. But make it brownies, and add a wink, maybe some air quotes, now you've made a joke.
Edit to add: fuck Romney, but this is dumb.
