This joke is old as dirt. It goes all the way back to the Johnny Carson show. Came out shortly after the Warren court more closely defined the rights of the accused.
This is almost too old a reference. I know who Carmen Miranda is only because I saw her in old movie musicals shown on TV in the afternoon – locally back in the 60s and 70s. And I was born during the Second World War… But it is still cute if you know movie history. and know/watch police procedure shows.

People half my age (I’m 78), don’t know who she was. How long can cartoonists keep milking this?

If you young’uns don’t know Carmen Miranda, look her up on YouTube. She was rapturous fun. Boom chicky boom boom.

The whole South American pop culture phase was brief and should be revived for at least another short while. Boom chicka boom.

Shouldn’t she be in the Conga line instead of the Customs line?

I wonder if she’s got one of those giant banana spiders in her hat?

Great tribute from Jimmy Buffet; “They don’t dance like Carmen no more”
Ask GOOGLE/YouTube to play it for you!
