A monastery in the English countryside had fallen on hard times, and the monks decided to open a fish-and-chips restaurant. The establishment soon became very popular, attracting people from all over.
One city fellow, thinking himself clever, asked one of the brothers standing nearby, "I suppose you're the 'fish friar?’"
"No," answered the brother, straight-faced. "I'm the 'chip monk.'"
There was a monastery adjacent to a property owned by Hugh Jackman. To help the poor village nearby, the monks would sell flowers at a stand near the road, at quite a reasonable price.
This upset the local florist, who was accustomed to overcharging his clients. On doing some research, the florist found that the monks were not legally allowed to sell anything from their property. He took his complaint to the village authorities, but they explained to him that the monks were actually using Mr. Jackman's land for their flower stand.
They told the shop owner: only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
These just keep getting better and better
Agreed! I've been cackling manically while my boyfriend keeps telling me to calm down 🤣🤣
Thank you to all for this glorious moment!
