And here is a horrible joke just to make it official:

Two members of a small monastery decided to open a florist shop to help 
raise money for their good works. The idea of buying beautiful flowers from 
gentle friars appealed to a lot of people in the town, and soon they were 
flocking to the shop.

Meanwhile, the florist across town saw his business virtually disappear 
when all his customers began buying flowers from the monks. He thought the 
monks had an unfair advantage, so he visited them and asked them to return 
to the monastery and leave business to businessmen. They politely declined.

So he visited the monastery and asked the Abbot to convince the monks to 
abandon the business. He declined as well.

Next the florist sent his mother, his parish priest and his children to 
visit the monks, asking them to cease their business so the original 
florist could make a living. It didn't work.

Finally, in desperation, the florist hired the town thug, Hughson McNasty, 
to use personal persuasion. Hugh McNasty showed up one night with a 
baseball bat, shattered the windows of the monk's shop, tossed their 
flowers out into the street, and gave the monk's  black eyes, promising 
them he'd be back unless they closed their business.

Terrified, the monks shut their store and returned to the monastery,

Proving...
		... Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
