ABC stores - had to laugh my guts out once on IRC when an Australian bloke said the first time he went to Honolulu he said he marked out where the hotel was because there was a store called "ABC" right next door so he wouldn't get lost - he was of course making a joke at his own expense but it struck me as very humorous.

Literally, you can see other ABC stores from the inside of an ABC store. There's 2 of them no more than 100 feet apart in one part of Waikiki.

Yep, that's what made it so funny. They're very convenient though (and I didn't get lost in Honolulu I just asked for directions, people are very helpful). Funny thing did happen to me though. I was walking back to the hotel from dinner one night with my then wife and behind me I heard this booming voice in an Australian accent, "isn't it funny who you come across in Hawaii?" I turned around, it was one of the recruits I used to teach, graduated a few weeks earlier and had come to Honolulu for leave.

I was really glad I was walking along the street with my wife and not some hooker :clink:
