Marianne is setting up a studio/shop and thinking of calling Water,=20
Earth, Fire because that is pottery clannish/clayish.
So two nice tourists are tooling along and they are just ready for a bit =
of=20
shopping, chatting, etc. and they see this sign WATER.EARTH, FIRE
Says One: =93What on EARTH is that?=94
Two: =93Probably heavy equipment. You know=85Bulldozers, pumpers, like th=
at=85=94
One: Clever name! But here?=94
Two: Sure. This must be the office=85the yard must be near their gravel p=
it=85.=94
Next tourists drive by. See sign:
Says One: =93What on earth is that?=94
Two: =93 Must be some Flowerchildish thing=85you know herbs, and scented=20
candles, and oils and like that=85.=94
One: =93Let=92s not even LOOK! One more scented candle and my sinuses blo=
w my=20
brain out!=94
Now the sign is changed to KERAMIEK.
Maybe even MARIANNE'S KERAMIEK.
Tourists drive by:
Says One: =93What an odd spelling for Ceramic.=94
Says Two: May be Swedish=85=94
One: =93 Do you think they are imports?=94
Two: =93I don=92t know. Let=92s stop=85.=94
Keramiek also will look sensible in the phone book. And if there is a=20
picture of a pot on the sign that won't hurt.
As to the Little Old Ladies What Does "Ceramics"- What about the Big Youn=
g=20
Men who do "MUSIC"? EEEEK.
And now I wonder how many pottery studios in France are called Le Lapin=20
Argile? A new worry....
