Liberty Mutual - "We don't wait for bad things to happen" except that they obviously do wait, otherwise they would have i) fixed the guy's pipe before it broke, and ii) told the lady not to go get her nails done.

I was going to buy one of those brooms with small circular rubber bristles. Looked good to me and thought it would make a good Christmas pressie for Mrs. Rushman. She's always saying how sick she is of sweeping up, maybe this would rejuvenate the experience a little.
PS. (Just incase gruff and AWPJ's had other ideas)..the little rubber bristles are on the bottom of the broom NOT the handle!!!!
