Covid-19 has taught us that viruses come in two variants: Unique and Tame

How do you stop a unique virus? You unique up on it.

And how do you stop a tame virus? The tame way.

(Yeah, my one-year old told me this and I couldn't be more proud)

Around the turn of 1900, two Friars move to London to start up a florist shop. Well this didn't sit well with the established florist shop down on the corner.

The other shop owner called his buddy to have someone trash their store. They sent Hugh, big guy like 6'3'' 300pounds. Hugh goes in and busts the store up and scares the Friars off, sending them back to the monastery.

The moral of the story is, Hugh and only Hugh can prevent Florist Friars.

Scientists have been trying to figure out what's going on and have only recently classified them as M.Deer. However a new variant has caused them to classify some as N.Deer. They're worried what a third variant would cause.

I think it'll definitely be an O.Deer situation...
