What's a flat tire?

After my first flat within a week of buying my bike, I decided not to have any
more--I put on thorn-proof tubes and the Mr. Tuffy liner.  The salesman says
that this sin't foolproof--but he's only had one flat this way in the last four
years.  A couple of days later I pulled out a quarter inch thorn from the
tire--it had probably been there for about seven miles.  I also carry a spare
tube (normal), a crescent wrench, a screwdriver, and a valve tool in my
seatbag.
