How to look like a tourist
When doing business in a place, it’s always important to get an understanding of the customs and persuasions of your clients. Proper attire is critical to success. So if you don’t want to look like a malihini, then here are two fashion tips.
Do wear Hawaiian shirts. The kama’aina do not wear golf shirts or button downs, not even for business. And they certainly never wear a suit or a blazer!
Avoid most Hawaiian shirts. It may come as a surprise, but while the natives may be comfortable with the near nudity that surrounds them at times, they prefer conservative attire. Muted colors with patterns from nature, or possibly surf boards are favorites. But if you want the locals to snicker, then pick the brightest shirt you can find, and plaster it with cars, motorcycles, and hula girls.

95% of the comments I receive are spam. I approved this one because it is the most ingenious spam comment I’ve received yet. Kudos to this guy for going through the trouble of creating a spam bot that actually puts the title of the post in the comment. You wouldn’t even know it was spam unless you clicked on his url (which I deleted); like so much other comment spam, it was pr0n.
