This Week's Groaner
Some friars were behind in their belfry payments, so they opened a small
florist shop to raise the funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from
the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was
unfair.
He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back
and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his mother to go
ask the friars to get out of business. They ignored her. So, the rival
florist hired Hugh Mac Taggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town
to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their
store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close shop. Terrified, the friars
did so.
The Moral of the Story:
Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars !!
