It’s Flint. F-L-I-N-T. Flint.

Whenever you do a story about a recently retired English professor, it’s best to keep certain things correct, such as grammar and punctuation, and having at least one noun and one verb in each sentence.
Oh, and spelling. Spelling should be accurate, especially if the hometown of the recently retired professor has a really complicated, one-syllable name.
So, “Tiger” Edmonds was on the horn the other day.
“Got a pop quiz for ya,” he said.
Oh.
“How do you spell Flint?”
Shoulda called Ironhead before I filed.
Or at least gone to college.
