This is a local joke that John Rabi posted on Konaforum. Hope he won't mind if I bring it over here. If you don't get this joke, you may not be ready to move to Hawai'i.
Posting of this joke in no way makes light of the nasty business of setting dogs at each others' throats, or even roosters.

FOR LOCALS ONLY!
The Honolulu Police Department received reports of illegal cockfights being held in the Ewa area and duly dispatched the infamous Detective Chang to investigate. He reported to his sergeant the next morning.
'Get tree main groups in da cock-fightin hui,' he began.
'Good work. Who are they?' the sergeant asked.
Chang replied confidently, 'Get haoles, Portagees, and da Syndicate.'
Puzzled, the sergeant asked, 'How did you find that out in one night?'
'Wuz easy cuz,' he replied, 'I wen' Ewa side and watched da cockfight. Could tell had haoles when one duck was entered in da fight.'
The sergeant nodded, 'I'll buy that. But what about the others?'
Chang intoned knowingly, 'Well, I feegured get Portagees when someone wen' bet on da duck.'
'Ah, yes,' said the sergeant, 'And how did you deduce the Syndicate was involved?'
'Da duck won.'
