Edna's Inspiration

Well, you can just see it in her eyes. Edna gets this end-of-the-counter stare when she's hatching something. Some guy named anonymous wrote into the blog comments that we had an announcement about changing your toothbrush so many times a year because we were just trying to sell toothbrushes. I was a bit put off at our attempt to serve the public good. Edna must have seen me fuming, or smelled the smoke, and she came over to see what was the problem. She read and then she got this look. Then Edna says:

"Sell toothbrushes! Why not."

Before a know it she's whispering to Earl and Earl's calling Sonsen and John Jimson and sifting around for bits of wire and stuff. I don't know what, just stuff. Then Edna's on the phone to Mr. Edward C. Slurry ordering travel toothbrushes and paste and saying like "Yeah razors and shavin' cream might work. I'll tell Earl to make two display stands." I don't need to draw you a picture of what's going on, do I?

Besides, it's tax season so I've got all these accounts and forms to update. A few years back, Mr. Edward C. Slurry decided his enterprises needed their own tax filer person so he sent me off to income tax school. Anyway, it's tax season and I don't have time to draw pictures. Enjoy the weather. We're expecting two feet of snow here. Edna told Earl to get the snowshoe racks out again.
