It is well known that living in Ireland these days can be very difficult. It has proven to be hard on everyone, including the friars from the local church. These poor friars were constantly falling behind on their belfry payments, so they decided to open up a small florist shop to raise the needed funds. As you can imagine, everyone liked to buy their flowers from these men of God. Unfortunately, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, the friars did so, thereby proving that only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
