Two friars are having trouble paying off
the belfry, so they open a florist shop. Everyone
wants to buy flowers from the men of God
so business is quickly booming. The
florist across town sees a huge drop in
sales and asks the two friars to close
their shop,
but they refuse. A month
later the florist begs the friars to close
because he’s having trouble feeding his
family. Again,
they refuse, so the florist hires Hugh
McTaggert. Hugh is
the roughest, toughest thug in town and is
hired to “persuade” the friars to close. Hugh asks
the friars to close their florist shop. When they
refuse, he threatens to beat the crap out
of them and wreck their shop every day
they remain open, so they close. This
proves once again that Hugh and only Hugh
can prevent florist friars. ~ Paul Grass is just a flower bed in waiting New gardeners learn by by trowel and

~Faye If I could only grow green stuff in my
garden like I can in my refrigerator Two older ladies were sitting on a park
bench outside the local town hall where a
flower show was in progress.
One leaned over and said, "Life is so
boring. We never have any fun anymore.
For $5.00 I'd take my clothes off right
now and streak through that stupid
flower show!" "You're on!" said the
other old lady, holding up a $5.00 bill.
As fast as she could, the first little
old lady fumbled her way out of her
clothes and, completely naked, streaked
through the front door of the flower
show.
Waiting outside, her friend soon heard
a huge commotion inside the hall,
followed by loud applause. The naked
lady burst out through the door
surrounded by a cheering crowd.
"What happened?" asked
her waiting friend. "Why, I won first prize
for Best Dried Arrangement."

it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it
is a valuable plant. ~ Joan I'm a gardener and I'm OK I sleep all night and I plant all day! I dress in grubby clothing, and hang
