It seems there were three monks who enjoyed raising plants and were trying to keep a flower shop running, selling unique and exotic plant life.
One day, some children where playing behind the shop and were eaten whole by an extremely rare man-eating plant.
The parents, needless to say, were outraged, and demanded that the friars get rid of the dangerous plant. The friars refused.
So the parents and the people of the town tried several ways to get the friars to consent, but finally they had to ask Hugh, the town blacksmith, (undoubtably the strongest man around), to run the friars out of town.
The Moral is : "Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars!"
There was a teller at a bank, Ms. Jane Paddywack, who was trying to make it through her last couple customers and get out to lunch, when a small frog came jumping up the line, and up to her window.
"I'd like to get a lilly-pad renovation loan"
Well, a bit suprised, but a capably woman, she replied, "I'll have
to see some collateral first"
"Of course," said the frog, and proceed to drag up to the window a large ivory statue of a, a, a THING. She didn't even know how to describe it, let alone know what it was. So she brought it back to Mr. Stein, the bank manager. He had been at the bank for a while, and had seen the frog come in for numerous loans before, so he simply replied...
"IT'S A KNICK-KNACK, PADDYWACK. GIVE THE FROG A LOAN!"
