Mitt Romney Innocently Uses Cuban Slang For 'Vagina' When Professing Appreciation For Papayas

What's so funny about papayas?

That's probably what presidential candidate Mitt Romney was asking himself as he finished up an interview with Miami's Radio Mambí on Monday, a station mainly targeted at Cuban exiles.

According to Mediaite.com, in light of the governor's imminent campaign stop at convicted cocaine trafficker Reinaldo Bermudez' El Palacio de los Jugos (The Palace of Juices), host Carlos Santana asked Romney, “They’re waiting for you with a mamey and a guayaba — Cuban fruits — here in Miami, do you like those?”

“I am a big fan of mango, papaya, and guava,” Romney answered. Well of course he's a fan of papaya, it is a superfruit after all.

Santana, stifling his laughter, added. “There are mangos there too.” Great, but will there be papayas there?
