Tourons??

What is a touron? It is the cross between a moron and a tourist. Where did I learn this term? From working three summers during high school and college at a tourist attraction. I have seen tourists do really silly things and I have seen tourists even do really dangerous things.

Today, as a tourist, I witnessed a touron in action. Enjoy the pics!

We saw a sign along the freeway for "Wailua Falls 4 Miles" so we turned to go see them. As we arrived at the lookout, we couldn't see the falls but were greeted by this sign. I am not sure which is more disturbing the message or the bullet holes. And then I turned to my right and saw this touron.....

This touron is standing on the rail and it is at least a 100 foot drop to the bottom of the falls. I have nothing to say to this.
He is being such a touron! Nothing else fits.

Here is the stunning view he was looking at. I took this picture without standing on the rail.
