I couldn’t have said it any clearer myself, or could’t myself appear to clarify it more than the trapio most excellent has been pardoned.
OK Mr Bayonet, I can’t resist this:
what’s the bullfighting scene like in Cuba? Does Fidel “do a Jesus Christ” and with one tail and two ears reward all of the people for their heroic collective struggle against the bull?
Of course Cubans do not have bullfights, sequins have been rationed since 1963, when the US sequin cartel imposed a cruel embargo on the Cuban people. Thus the only matador customs left are relics from the pre-Castro era, lovingly maintained by Cubans by using scavenged Russian sequins, originally imported for Raul Castro’s evening gowns.
You can see Cubans sporting these lovely matador outfits, strolling up and down the malecon, but as lovely as the outfits are, they are not functional in any way, much to the dissapointment of hopeful tourists, who would like nothing so much as a much closer inspection of the functionality of said customs.
So it goes.
