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.

“They’re waiting for you with a mamey and a guayaba — Cuban fruits — here in Miami, do you like those?” one of the host asked.

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.

I've spent 28 years now married into a Cuban-American family in Miami and that's not how anyone I know would take it. 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.
