Isaac and Hetty were planning a vacation. As usual, they ended up arguing. “It’s ‘Hawaii’ I’m telling you.” Hetty said.
“Oy Vay, I never knew anyone so stubborn. ‘Havaii’ is how it’s pronounced,” Isaac says. And so it went on all the way until they got there. As soon as they got off the plane, they asked a porter, “Now that we’re on the island, you can settle an argument between my wife and I. Is this ‘Hawaii’ or ‘Havaii’?”
“This is Havaii,” replied the porter.
“Ha!” Isaac said, turning to Hetty. “See, didn’t I tell you never to argue with me? I’m always right.”
Just before they began to walk away, Isaac gave the porter a hearty “Thank you.”
“You’re velcome!”
