We Know It When We See It

The sign on Thursday, October 19th

The owners of Hawaiian Rent-All continue to display their wit at the intersection of McCully and Beretania.

(They rose to attention for their chiding of President Biden's response to the Lahaina fires.)

From the looks of it, they should quit while they're ahead.

Political humor is challenging: one has to be funny without crossing the line into nastiness.

For example, their latest attempt is hardly funny and a little nasty:

We are born ignorant
But taught stupidity.
Explains why politicians
Are so educated.

This joke on the same subject matter, which I just made up, would have been a little funnier:

Those who can, do
Those who can't, teach
Those who can't teach
Go into politics.

Humor is subjective, and, like I said, challenging.
