NO DAR PAPAYA

COLOMBIA | Monday, 28 November 2005 | Views [1545] | Comments [1]

There are a variety of ways in Colombia, not unlike any other place on the planet, where you can inadvertantly put temptation in someone elses' way, creating thereby a degree of unwanted attention to one's person or property. This can consist of pulling out a bulging wallet in a crowded location, wearing a great deal of 'bling' in an obviously poor neighbourhood, leaving the keys in a Porsche with the top down, wearing a low cut dress or a short miniskirt in a location full of testosterone driven males. It's not hard to think up your own examples. Anyway, should you be guilty of any of any such stupidity, then it would be encumbent on a good friend to say "No dar papaya..." "Don't show the papaya..." Kelly has been helpful and kind enough to demonstrate the principle here for us, although it would be fair to say that Kelly is not the Colombian Papaya hiding champion...
