the clueless american

An open letter to the guy with the white turtleneck in the Juneau Public Library today:

Sure you looked very studious with your backpack and your college books laid out on the table. Your fellow students probably thought you were researching an upcoming term paper or studying for an exam as you sat there in the corner of the upstairs conference room in the Juneau Library. What you failed to notice, however, was that right over your shoulder was a 1300-person cruise ship. The Lido deck dining room was the perfect height to look right at the internet porn you were viewing on the library's free wireless service. Those of us on the ship were really hoping you'd turn around at least once so we could point and laugh or at least give you a thumbs up. Next time try to have a little situational awareness, huh?
