That’s not the way to make a sale.

I’m afraid I don’t get this. Ok the stakes, but the hatchet?

And some Roustabouts to set it up would be nice, and what do you expect when you shop at Omar the Tentmaker?

for a moment it came to me the idea of popcorn, then it came the idea of Pennywise

When I was younger I would see people build a tent using the back of a hatchet to pound the stakes in. I used to see people from another generation carry a hatchet in the back of their vehicles along with rope, spare tire (when it used to be a real spare tire), oil and tools for emergencies as there were no cellular phones back then. This would be when cars were bigger and made out of steel for instance…

I didn’t know Barnum & Bailey designed gowns.

Very versatile and utilitarian as a shelter also…..

To pound the stakes in for the tent….

She has TENTatively decided to buy the dress.
