Coleman goofs

[Jim Coleman, Sr.]

Hi John:

Thanks for correcting me. Of course, to sharpen a fork, one must file
the ends. To flatten it, one must file the inside near the base to make
it thinner and more flexible.

It reminds me again that one must have his brain in gear before flexing
the fingers.
