To prevent florist Friahs.
The joke “Why aren’t flowers sold in a monastery? To prevent florist Friahs” is a play on words combining the context of a monastery and a pun on “florist friars.” In a monastery, members of the religious community, particularly in Christian traditions, are often referred to as “friars.” The term “florist” refers to a person who arranges and sells flowers. The humor arises from the pun on “florist friars,” sounding like “florist friars,” which imagines members of the monastery engaged in the unlikely and humorous profession of floristry.
They already have plenty of ‘budding’ monks.
