Humor from the Ivory Tower is often so obscure and esoteric that we don't even get it ourselves; nonetheless, it is funny. As far as "self-assuredness," that comes from not having to live in the real world.
The above is self-effacing humor of the humble academic.
I like Kauai. Lived there for 5 years so it's part of my "hood." Princeville would be very nice with a PGA course, first rate accommodations, and just enough country left to be country. I will treat everyone to a trip to one of my favorite spots on earth, Kokee State Park.
And humor: An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are shown a pasture with a herd of sheep, and told to put them inside the smallest possible amount of fence. The engineer is first. He herds the sheep into a circle and then puts the fence around them, declaring "a circle will use the least fence for a given area, so this is the best solution." The physicist is next. She creates a circular fence of infinite radius around the sheep, and then draws the fence tight around the herd, declaring, "This will give the smallest circular fence around the herd." The mathematician is last. After giving the problem a little thought, he puts a small fence around himself and then declares,"I define myself to be on the outside."
