Earl just got a new sponsor, the Hathaway Broom Company. He will soon be playing with their new lightweight feather duster model, with the long tapered handle and tight peacock feather bottom. He will be using a revolutionary new tip made out of skunk skin. It smells funny but is very tacky and should make it easy to use extreme english.
I heard he is getting $100 per event, a slight decrease in pay, but times are tough so you have to take what you can get. And he will also get a dozen feather dusters to sell at each event he goes to. A nice bonus worth nearly $200, if he sells them all retail. That shouldn't be any problem either. Who wouldn't want a broom signed by Earl?
The hard part is figuring out the best way to grip the feathers. I understand Earl is testing Eskimo mittens as they seem to hold the feathers firmly and yet not too tight.
It looks like Earl will soon be sweeping away the competition once again.
