Ted,

Is the Hi Senator related to Jake S., The greatest ukulele player ever?

[Ted]

I don't know. The last name is fairly common in Hawaii (and in Japan, I assume.)

Jake is the greatest - and very modest and personable.

[PaipoRick]

I met a girl with that first name...and my last name (miale).

[Ted]

We had a German Shepherd Dog named Maile.

[PaipoRick]

It's a plant of some kind, right? Also the name of the road where the hospital is? how's it pronounced? May lee? Mylee?

[Uncle Grumpy]

Maile (Alyxia oliviformis) a relative of dogwood, known for it's fragrant leaves and bark; It's commonly used to make leis for special occasions.
Rhymes with smiley.
