Mount the Duke

My brother Marv and his lovely wife Mei Mei are vacationing this week in Hawaii. My brother called me today to tell me he was standing on Waikiki Beach in front of a statue of Hawaiian surf legend Duke Kahanamoku. There is a live webcam focused on the statue. We coordinated times and with the webcam running, I waited for his call. When he did call, we spoke while I watched him respond to me live via the webcam(isn't technology grand?). Seeing the statue of the Duke behind him along with meandering tourists looking inquisitively at the camera, I knew I had to challenge my brother. "Dude," I said, "I'll give you twenty dollars if you mount the Duke." He paused but as expected, rose to the bait. Despite a slight time delay, I watched in incredulous fascination as my brother hiked a leg over the bronze thigh of the Duke and yelled out (with a slight time delay), "Do me, Hawaiian Man!" There were other inappropriate but hilarious actions that made me roar with laughter. My brother and I are 12 years old at heart and lack a rather critical self editing chip.

Thank God. I am sending him $50.
