The lei was too small and could not get it over her head!

Did You Know? - Nā lei developed for adornment; with little resources for ornamentation, most garlands are made of local flora and fauna like shells, teeth, flowers, and feathers. The lei has sacred uses associated with gods and many social uses associated with celebration. Nā lei are used as gifts between friends and during special occasions.

Chiefs would also create a special maile lei as a symbol of peace agreements. Nā lei were created by Polynesians, and their creation spread throughout the Pacific from New Zealand to Hawaii during the period of Austronesian expansion and Pacific ocean settlement from the 8th to 14th centuries.

During this period of expansion, nā lei across the Pacific were very similar; however, during its subsequent period of isolation, Hawaiians developed their own unique lei traditions.

Time for a joke.... Ron May volunteered one for the group....

A man was walking along a Florida beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it, and out popped a genie.

The genie said, "OK, You released me from the lamp, blah blah blah. This is the fourth time this month, and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three... You only get one wish!"

The man sat, and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm scared to fly, and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?"

The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible!!!

Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete -- how much steel!! No, think of another wish."

The man said, "OK, I'll try to think of a really good wish."

Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive.

So, I wish that I could understand women, know how they feel inside, and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment. Know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say "nothing,", know how to make them truly happy."

The genie said, "Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"

Beverly does a great rendition of the Hawaiian War Chant

Did You Know? - "Hawaiian War Chant" was an American popular song whose original melody and lyrics were written in the 1860s by Prince Leleiohoku.

The original title of the song was Kāua I Ka Huahuaʻi or "We Two in the Spray." It was not written as a chant, and the Hawaiian lyrics describe a clandestine meeting between two lovers, not a battle. The English title therefore has nothing to do with the song as it was originally written and performed in Hawaii.

The Hawaiian lyrics are unusual because they are often written with the letter "T" appearing where a "K" would be expected by many modern readers. However, the spelling reflects an older accent which is preserved to a large degree in the more northern islands, such as Niʻihau and Kauaʻi.

Under the original title, the song was recorded around June 1911 by the Crowel Glee Club, and released by Columbia Records
