An order of  friars was behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair and asked the good fathers to close down. Naturally, they politely refused.

He returned the following week and begged the friars to close but they again politely declined.

So the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, 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 up shop for good. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that: Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.

Oh, go ahead, groan. I did.
