I think there's a rule that if you get one of those, you're required to learn a tune called "Ukulele Lady". It's sort of like learning "Lady of Spain" if you play the accordion.
Another tune for the repertoire ...
Here's a picture, probably not safe for work ...

Here's a fun Jake Shimabukuro story:
Some of my friends were with me playing uke in our local Tavern, just hacking away for fun.
This lady finally came over and asked if we could play a Hawaiian song. We told her we didn't know any. We were playing stuff like Allman Bros and folk/blues.
She laughed and asked if we had heard of Jake Shimabukuro and we said sure, he rocks!
So she told us that she wanted to take a picture of our trashy little group so she could show Jake, ha, ha....
Oh crap;
I forgot to say that the Uke lady was Jake Shimabukuro's property manager.
Figured there was a connection.
I wouldn't want him to hear *me* play ....
