Gayish: Luis Miguel Attempts To Smuggle Fruit
Singer Luis Miguel was just straight-up chilling, flying to Chile on his private jet, when officials proceeded to confiscate fruits he had brought with him during a stopover at a town on Chilean / Peruvian border. L-Mig thought he could hide the fruit without having to bother with filling out the appropriate forms for them but, alas, Chile’s Agriculture and Livestock Service have no patience for skipping singers liberally dusted with bronzing powder who think they’re too good to fill out forms.
Upon his landing in Santiago, Luis Miguel was immediately ushered away in a van with tinted windows, much to the dismay of fans who had shown up in hopes of getting an autograph or a peach or something. See, L.M? This is what happens when you try to get things done por debajo de la mesa…
God, whatever. All’s forgiven. He can launch a purloined pineapple at our face as long as he’s singing while doing it.

luismi, you did it all wrong! You should have consulted my mom first! you know how many times she has smuggled fruits and plants in from mexico, via car or airplane. SHE IS THE QUEEN! i swear.. in her shoes,down her shirt, pants pockets of her children(we were crossing the mex/tex boarder, i was 10. she told me to pretend to be asleep. as well as my other 4 siblings.. it worked)
Half the plants in her garden are from mexico.

A friend of mine once said, “I’m so hungry I could eat anyone under the table!” Which I believe Carrie Fisher did to Warren Beatty in the film “Shampoo.” Is that why L-Mig is going debajo de la mesa?
Just out of curiosity, what kind of fruit does Miggy prefer to stuff into his pants? From the looks of his album cover, I’d suspect he knows how to bury a banana or two.

I can totes give testament to the strictness of Chilean customs. Having crossed over to Argentina from Chile then back over land, they really take fruit smuggling seriously. You don’t want to fuck with Chile’s fruit! It’s harder to smuggle fruit into Chile than smuggle yourself into the US.

@BornAgainChicano: Word to that. They will inspect your bags and steal your fruit at Chilean customs. When you come to Chile from Argentina on an airplane, they also drop some chemical mist on you too.
