Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, are going to try gardening, beginning with lawn grass. They've heard that it's hard to kill and never gets lonely.
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, are sponsoring a trip as a business promotion. Pay $100 to enter the drawing. The winner will have their name up in lights over the doorway. P&T will send photos from their Caribbean Cruise, with a special thank-you postcard sent to everyone who chipped in to make it possible.
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, are starting a farm, as soon as they accumulate enough clean dirt, which is why you see them all over town, with those little lace cloth bags. Any time that they see a little unclaimed dirt that meets their standards of rigorosity, they sweep it up posthaste into a bag and toss that into a carefully-sanitized purse. They estimate that they need only around 179,000 tons of dirt before they can plant their first fresh tidy immaculate crop, using sterile tweezers.
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, will be holding an open house coffee shop workshop for interested parties. They have cups. You bring the coffee, and maybe some treats for everyone you might want to befriend. The fun will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday and will end quickly if any hissy fits or fights break out, even if the police do not need to be called to referee.
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, want you to know that you're always welcome at their shop, if it's open, but not before. Please inquire by mail, with a self-addressed return envelope. (Postage for two ounces, please.)
Pat and Trite, the Obvious Sisters, are lobbying for a new national holiday, Ordinary Week. The way it would work is that everything looks the same, and you go about your normal business just like always, and then eventually it's over and you go have a nap. Sound exciting? (Sounds pretty good to some of us.)
