INTERNET HUMOR PAGES

Did you guys hear the one about the three friars who decided to leave their monastery and start a business together. They traveled around until they found a town they liked and opened up a plant-and-flower shop. So one day a woman was shopping at the friars' store, and while she was strolling down the aisle with her toddler, a large plant reached out, grabbed her child and ate it. The woman was upset, but the friars refused to believe that one of their plants could have done such a thing. But the woman told all of her friends and soon everyone in town was in an uproar. They decided to kick the Friars out of town. Every person in the town, except for a man named Hugh, gathered outside the Friars' shop, shouting, waving sticks, and demanding that they leave. But the Friars held their ground, and the townspeople gave up and went home.

A couple of weeks later, another woman was walking through the Friars' shop looking at plants with her baby, when a plant grabbed her child and ate it. She ran through the streets screaming that a plant had swallowed her baby. The townspeople were outraged and again they all gathered (except Hugh, of course) outside the Friar's shop and demanded that the Friars leave town at once. But the Friars refused and the people eventually left.

Upon hearing of these events, Hugh decided to check out the situation for himself, and he took his child into the floral shop. He held onto the lad tightly but it was no use. A large ficus wrestled the child from his arms and ate it. Hugh marched up to the Friars and said, quietly, "Get out of town, now!" The Friars immediately packed up all their belongings and fled that very day, never to be heard from again.

The moral of the story: Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
