The job ad just said exciting work in the travel industry. It didn’t say anything about stinking fruit hats! (Do you think they freshen the fruit every day?)
they take this mandatory picture of you when you get off the plane in punta cana, DR. i’m sure there are a TON more just like this, with people all weirded out and confused….
Yes! I am sure there is the exact same awkward photo of me out there. They shuffle you through all these lines of people and before you know it you are having your picture taken after 5 hours on a plane. Booo!!
LOL, I find this hilarious since all the times I’ve been to DR I have never seen this done. I guess being Dominican-American puts me on a non-scam line. And yet they all know I wasn’t born there the minute I speak Spanish.
Yes, we were in DR in March and we have this horrible photo in an envelope somewhere. They take your photo and then have it up in the airport for your return flight, when you can purchase it (if only so no one else can gaze at your awkwardness!). It’s almost like blackmail.
Guy in the back just realized that if you wash the fruit with local water it is just the same reaction as drinking the local water….just a little too late.
“Punta” means “point” or “peak”. If you eliminate the “n” in “punta” then it becomes a naughty word that means, basically, lady of the evening…
Trying desperately to keep this clean but still educational.
At least the daughter didn’t turn into a zombie on the vacation, however, she’s clearly not looking forward to trying to get her zombie family through security.
The ladies in Dominican Rebpulic always look like that when they are a few hours into their shifts. It is hot and the airport is open air((( NO AC. But you knwo what it’s still a fun destination!
What’s really funny, at least to me, is I look exactly like the guy in the back. I showed my wife and she agreed and said, “that’s a face you would make too”.

At least Mom looks like she’s having fun…..
I think the guy in the back had a few too many shots on the cruise!
poor ladies in crazy hats. imagine embracing strange white people all day for a living with fruit on your head.

HAHAHA. that’s funny.
I think the guy at the back is checking to make sure he doesn’t have any fruit baskets on his head.
You never know.
Gee, I’m from Washington state so when I think of tropical fruit apples don’t exactly come to mind……
Same here…(from mid-west)
Or sunflowers, for that matter.
The gal on the right has sereval different varieties of apples on her hat! Hilarious!
Well, I guess we can tell whose idea that vacation was.
Why do i want to call that guy in back Bernie. hmmm Taking a Cruise with Bernie.
At least the locals are smiling. Then again, they’re being paid to do that…
She must’ve been so proud to pull off the ‘ole purse-matches-the-fruit-hat caper. Niiiice.

I’m Dominican American and I had this done. This might be exclusive to the Punta Cana airport?

For the future, folks, “No!” is the same in English and Spanish.

Oh man, that happened to me! I was on the toilet for a month, so I don’t blame him for feeling that shock!
They just found out the fruit hats were not part of the “all-inclusive”.
The guy in the back had an uncomfortable trip over the border…he looks totally baked
I thought Punta was a naughty word in Spanish.

Who says the internet isn’t educational? %-)
Ned Colletti – is that you?
Unfortunately, Steve (rear) was the first hostage to succumb to the Jamaican Witch Queens’ spell…
At least the daughter didn’t turn into a zombie on the vacation, however, she’s clearly not looking forward to trying to get her zombie family through security.
I’m Chiquita Banana and I’m here to reveal…I am the best banana, it’s on the peel…
Too many pina coladas?
no way:O i went there a few years ago!
A little of the right makeup and the guy in the back could be a zombie
I think the son is a zombie…
The ladies in Dominican Rebpulic always look like that when they are a few hours into their shifts. It is hot and the airport is open air((( NO AC. But you knwo what it’s still a fun destination!
they obviously didn’t know what the Spanish word for “look at the camera” was
The funniest part is they actually paid $10 for this picture!
The guy at the back looks like he’s having a stroke. and not the brain/heart injury kind ;p
Apparently they decided to go on vacation in the Dominican after all the rooms at Hotel Guantanamo were booked.
hey! I’m heading there in a couple days on a cruise… no joke
What’s really funny, at least to me, is I look exactly like the guy in the back. I showed my wife and she agreed and said, “that’s a face you would make too”.
Then why isn’t your pic on here? Prove it!
smack those kids with the exotic fruit on the hats. PLEASE
