When the first white men showed up in Hawaii in 1778 it was the middle of a long fall and winter festival during which various sexual techniques were demonstrated by nude hula dancers, couples engaged in a bowling for partners game, and people played various other competitive sports. The foreign explorers assumed that the Hawaiians never worked and that sex was a universal sport-so to speak. American missionaries soon put a stop to this enlightened custom, and tried their best to completely and permanently ban hula dancing and surfing (in the nude, of course). But as time passed and the first generation of missionaries went to their reward, surfing, hula dancing and the pursuit of sexual pleasures regained some of the ground they had lost. Today's Hawaii is not as laid back as it was in its pre-missionary days, but the sun, the sand, the surf and the islands still work their seductive magic on residents and visitors alike. For vacationers, going to Hawaii is like a honeymoon whe-ther they are newlyweds or not.

Ralph believes he is the court jester of God, the distraction for all boredom in Heaven. His life is a series of mishaps that sends his mind into a quandary of fantasies enabling him to cope with whatever the world throws at him. The tale begins with his explaining his youth, thereby justifying the rest of the story. Being a true romantic, he takes us through his wedding, reception, and subsequent honeymoon in Hawaii, where if anything can go wrong it does.

He maintains happiness and optimism throughout his adventures, giving each of us hope that despite our own troubles there may be a light ahead...unless there is a convention in town.
