Friar Florists

Three friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they
opened a small florist shop to raise 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 down,
but they would not. He asked his mother to go and ask the
friars to get out of the business. They would not.

So, the rival florist hired Hugh McTaggart, 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 their
business. Terrified, they did so - thereby proving that:

Hugh, and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
