Hawaiian Vacation
A couple get off the plane at the Hawaiian International Airport on their first trip to our fiftieth state. They walk up to the first man they see in a Hawaiian large floral pattern shirt. “Excuse me sir, this is our first trip here and were wondering what the proper pronunciation of this state is. Do you pronounce it ‘Ha-wa-ii’ or ‘Ha-va-ii?’
The man smiles and says, ‘Ha-va-ii.’ They thank him profusely and are about to walk away confident in their linguistic achievement when the man smiles again and responds to their thanks. - “You’re kvite velcome.”
