don't you know who i AM?!

If you are in a small coffeehouse with wooden floors and sheetrock walls and you are on your cell phone, you should not pace up and down the length of the coffeehouse in your JCPenney wingtips talking loudly about your business plans. We understand that you are important, and that the call is perhaps important, but we are in a coffeehouse, after all, and some of us are trying to listen to Simon and Garfunkel, trying to build a bridge over our troubled waters.

great writing Ian! (and I agree with the substance as well as love the form) - "trying to listen to Simon and Garfunkel, trying to build a bridge over our troubled waters." that's quotable.
