Notice they both appear to be Asian.

About twenty years ago when I moved to Honolulu, it was not uncommon to see Asian women wearing face diapers. Chinese virus was still Fauci’s dream in a lab.

Dunno why, maybe a carryover from the polluted air where they came from?

[Jamestown1630]

In my neighborhood, it’s mostly the Asians and some Hispanics that are still wearing them.

The lesson itself was a quick 20 minutes.

In other words, it was 20 minutes too long.

I like this one.

Call me contrarian but I think it’s pretty cool.

I’m flying Southwest tomorrow. I’d enjoy something cool like that.

[Jamestown1630]

And the souvenir uke will last longer than the lei...

[Albion Wilde]

I’m looking forward to the report from the bagpipe flight... to Edinburgh.

LOLs!

[Gnome1949]

It could have been worse.

How about a plane full of banjos at 35,000 feet?

“Dueling Banjos?” (from the movie “Deliverance”).

[Albion Wilde]

If I’m in line for a flight and I see everybody around me with an accordion strapped to them I’m gonna start yelling “bomb! Bomb!”

That would be "Bomba! Mamma mia! Bomba!

No Pallbearer should be expected to hoist that kind of mass

I had a relative of size. They charged extra for cremation over 350 lbs.

Speaking of it, people were wondering why the Queen's coffin looked so heavy, since she was shrunken tiny, and had asked for a plain oak coffin. Turns out it was lead-lined, and weighed 500 lbs.

Izzy , R.I.P.

My hero.

He’s the one who inspired me to learn the ukulele.

It’s hard to hold one with out smiling.

If you don’t like ukulele music, Hawaii is not where you want to go.

[virgil]

Yes, it sounds like it was a lot of fun, and a free lesson. I would be happy to get there in one piece, or not to arrive hanging outside from the fuselage.

[Jamestown1630]

It’s been suggested that the pallbearers should receive honors for the wonderful job they did. I agree.

[Jamestown1630]

My grandfather was a professional musician (classical), and the ukulele was the first instrument he gave me.

[cuz1961]

I’m addicted to them,,, I’ve got 6 so far,,,1 clear blue plastic kayaking soprano uke, 3 mahogany concert ulkes and 1 reaaal nice Epiphone les Paul style cheryburst tenor electric acoustic.

Oh , and a rogue baritone uke with special strings that let me use regular gcea tuning so my chord shapes remain the same.

Hawaii's nice...I'm glad I've seen it. But I don't have the *slightest* desire to make a second visit. I'll take Florida thank you!
