A True Story about Hugh Hefner

An order of monks set up a flower shop directly across the street from the famous Playboy Mansion in Hollywood.

The monks offered their flowers at low prices and gave a blessing to every customer. Their shop became very successful.
However, many Hollywood neighbors did not want commercial ventures in their neighborhood. The neighbors went to city hall and demanded that the shop be shut down. But the monks prayed to God that they would be allowed to continue their enterprise. They also told the newspapers and TV stations about how their flower shop's profits allowed them to help the poor. The neighbors' attempts came to naught.

Just when the monks' business seemed safe, Hugh Hefner noticed the shop and decided he did not want monks right across the street from his den of iniquity. He used his money and influence to make the city shut down the monks' flower shop.

The moral of the story is: Only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
