Cuban Puns

a castronaut

That day, another Fiddle Catastrophe was prevented.

An IceCube

Clothes, but no cigar.

Clothes, but no cigar...

I'd be a Castronaut

Infidel.

Castroenteritis

Niece: Cuban food? Are we going to eat cubes?

And when we got there, I swear this happened, there was a pork dish on the menu that was described as fried pork cubes. She ordered it.

"So, it was a good deal, but no cigar"

¿Qué dijo la gallina de un lado del camino a la gallina del otro lado del camino?

“¡PA’CA! ¡PA’CA!”

English:

What did the chicken on one side of the road say to the chicken on the other side of the road?

“Over here! Over here!”

(“Pa’ca” means “over here” in colloquial Spanish)

(I’m of Cuban descent for reference)

I ask my girlfriend, "Do you think Castro will be cremated or buried?"

She says, "I couldn't care less why what do you think?"

I reply, "Probably cremated, people love to smoke Cubans."

We went out to eat at a Cuban place and my mother had ordered some food with a side of tostones (a plantain dish). She complained that they had too much garlic to which I made a joke:

"Yeah, as soon as you bit into it, you tatsed the garlic and were like , '¡Ajo!'"

(¡Ajo! is a Spanish exclamatory similar to "ooooooh" or "oh my goodnes." It doesn't have a direct English equivalent but that's what it means. The Spanish word for garlic also happens to be ajo, so I made a pun playing off the dual meaning of the word. Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. )
