Don’t ask me why I know this. But I do. The state fish of Hawai’i is the humuhumunukunukuapua`a.

I think it comes from a Reader’s Digest in my dentists office when I was about twelve. One of the sure signs of aging is the phenomenon of events, even exceptionally small, even minor ones from sixty years ago, being recollected far better than what I came to the pharmacy to pick up this afternoon. And so, the humuhumunukunukuapua`a popped into my head this morning and made me wonder about what all those this states and municipalities claim as representative of themselves.

Since northwest Iowa is deprived of triggerfish, the Bowmen of Agincourt is still our best bet.
