Frank had built an empire on two simple principals:

The speling principal was a hardass and strutted about her office smacking things with rulers, often the butts of insubordinate children. The grammar principal ruled Frank's empire

and was well known for ratcheting up the tension on the nipple clamps for misplaced apostrophes. But never, never ever, besmirch the Grammar Principal's principle principle:

NO DANGLING PARTICIPLES! You can pretty much count on your nipples being completely ripped off by the Grammar Principle's clamps if you break this principle. Dangling participles

run on sentences, split infinitives were the top 10 cardinal grammar sins. The Grammar Principle's punishments stultified communication until Huck Flynn vowed to boldy speak as no

t nobody had never done, neither--4 negatives! The Grammar Principal's head exploded. Since he was dead, the Grammar Police took over. In a passive voice, Huck Flynn told them

"The Grammar Police have no jurisdiction here. You'll have to talk to the Fashion Police as they have jurisdiction over us." Huck Flynn turned and walked away from the Grammar Poli

zaÿ and hoped to find some golden brew as gloom settled in the town square of Urbanistad, unaware that Phelps and his nanny team were tracking him. Huck Flynn asked the barmaid for

some nicorette gum. He wasn't trying to quit, he was on a deadly nicotine run. He was smoking, chewing, smoking a pipe, cigar, snorting snuff, drinking chew spit making Huck Flynn

a living pillar of toxicity. His new business in weed control is on course to break even next year. Plants within a 6 foot radius shrivel up as he walks by oozing nicotine.
