Grr... couldn't find it online, so I have to type it all out.
A long time ago, in a small Chinese village, three Monks, presumably banished from thier monastery, showed up. To make ends meet, they went into the plant business.
It was the week of their grand opening, when a father was pushing his baby's stroller down an aisle. He took his eyes off her for just a minute, and when he returned his attention, she was gone--and was never found again.
A town meeting was called, where a few rather angry friends of the baby's family denounced the friars. Everyone mumbled with a slight agreement to this fact (well, except for Hugh--but he was a quiet guy), but there wasn't enough anger in the town for such a harsh punishment. They had invested a large amount of money into thier business, after all.
The next week, a mother was walking donw the aisle along side her son, who got distracted, and wandered off. The last thing she saw was a vine reaching out and pulling her child towards it. The young boy was never seen again.
The town was enraged now, as this was the second incident of a missing child. Over half the town called for the Friars to be banished--and the rest called for heavy punishment (well, except for Hugh, of course), but the firars refused to leave, explaining that they were not at fault for the missing children, and the mother of the boy must've been seeing things. They continued to practice thier trade...
One of the few remaining customers wandered down the aisles, her baby girl in her arms. Suddenly, a potted plant uprooted before her eyes, snatched the baby out of her arms, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The town was in an uproar--an almost unanimous agreement that they should be banished from the town. "Ha, you can't make us leave!" one of the Friars replied.
Just then, Hugh stood from his chair at the back of the town square. "Leave," he spoke quietly.
The friars immediately ran to thier shop, gathered whatever they could carry, and fled town.
The moral of this story: Only Hugh can prevent florist friars.





Runner up joke (my dad made this one up):
If you had a clone, and all he did was speak curse words...
and you pushed him off a building, would you be charged with murder, or just making an obscene clone fall?
