Three friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small
florist shop to raise the funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from
the men of God, the 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. He asked his mother to go and
ask the friars to get out of business. They ignored her too.
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 shop. Terrified, they
did so - thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist
friars.
And another.
A man went to his dentist because he feels something wrong in his mouth. The dentist examines him and says, "that new plates I put in for you six months ago are eroding. What have you been eating?"
The man replies, "all I can think of is that about four months ago my wife made some asparagus and put some stuff on it that was delicious...Hollandaise sauce. I loved it so much I now put it on everything --- meat, toast, fish, vegetables, everything."
"Well," says the dentist, "that's probably the problem. Hollandaise sauce is made with lots of lemon juice, which is highly corrosive. It's eaten away both of your plates. I'll make you some new plates, and this time I'll use chrome."
"Why chrome?" asks the patient.
The dentist replies, "It's simple. Everyone knows that there's no plates like chrome for the
Hollandaise!"
