Once upon a time...

There were these clergy, you see, who moved into the little backwater
town of New Concord, OH. and opened up a flower shop.  Unfortunately for
the children of the village, the clergy keep an experimental garden in  the
back of the shop.  One day, as some of the children were on their way home
from school, they decided to take a shortcut through the revered garden.
They were all eaten by a very large man eating plant (triffid for those
avid biols).

The townspeople, needless to say, were slightly peeved.  An emergency town
meeting was immediatly called.  The clergy received an eviction notice the
next day and promptly filed it in the circular file.  One week later, the
townspeople decided to take more forceful measures; the mayor, himself,
paid a personnal call on the clergy and was promptly thrown out on his tail.

When Hough Steffanwiler, the town blacksmith heard about this he stormed down
to the flower shop and physically threw the silly clergy out of town and
burned the plant.

Morale: Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
