Never thought broom style is quite the obvious...though my wife wants an informal upright style...

This reminds me of a story of this guy who goes into the tailor's to get a new suit. He is picks out some cloth and is duly measured, and the cuffs are chalked up and he is told to return in a few hours for a final fitting. He comes back and tries the suit pants on and is surprised to discover that one of the pantlegs is 3" longer than the other. The tailor explains that he just needs to bend one knee a bit when he walks, and everything will be fine. On goes the jacket and sure enough, it is pinched tightly between the shoulders and the right cuff is longer than the left. The tailor explains this can all be corrected by shrugging his shoulders some and carrying the right one a bit higher than the left.
The man pays for his suit and hobbles out into the street, right past two ladies waiting at a bus stop.
One woman exclaims to the other, "That poor man! I wonder if he was injured in the war?" Whereupon the other lady says, "Yes, dear, it's a shame...
but look how nice his suit fits!"
The moral to this story is...
It's probably better to buy another tree than to dress this one in clothes that don't fit.
