Student 1 [reading the Hawaiian word holomua] : "Wait, is the H silent?"
Student 2: "No, that's only for Spanish, dummy."
Student 1: "So... is it 'jolomua'?"
Student 2 looks at Student 3 then to me as I try to stifle my laughter: "Do you live in 'Jawaii'?"
[laughter]
Student 1: "No."
Me: "Is it pronounced 'Jonolulu'?"
[more laughter]
Student 1: "Duh! It's 'Honolulu'! But you never answered my question!"
Student 3 [pointing to me]: "Is he Mr. 'Jwang'?"
[raucous laughter]
