Tamales are a type of food. (Pronounced like Tom-all-ays)

So the joke is making you read "females" (fee-males) like Fem-all-ays

Tah-MAH-lehs would be more accurate. 'Females', read as in Spanish, would be feh-MAH-lehs.

It's easy, you read Spanish as if every vowel had that 'h'. Vowels do not change their sound.

That's a horrible explanation, right? Here. That's how you always pronounce the vowels.
