(* eat >>>(o> *)  
		I can't begin to tell you how pleased I was
	to read all those stories and not see my favorite one!
That means I get to submit this and pretend I made it up or something:
	( Actually told to me by my big brother at a time in my 
	  life when I was  still amused by these things.)

   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 asked Hue, the town blacksmith,
(undoubtably the strongest man around), to run the friars out of town.


     Your waiting for the moral... Can you guess?

(CTRL-L, CTRL-L)

   "Hue, and only Hue, can prevent florist friars!"


You may be groaning, but I liked it. (when i was eight :-)
