I recently spent some time with a writer friend who lives in a small village in Sctoland. He knows all the local community very well, and he introduced me to several of his friends. One of these guys is a full-time professional florist, with his own shop and everything. In the basement of his shop is a small work-out room and gymnasium, because this florist is also a prize-winning martial arts fighter and considers himself a very handy streetfighter. Hence he’s known as the Streetfighter Florist.
In my opinion, this would make a great name for a story or a movie, possibly with the same small-town gentle humour of something like ‘Local Hero’ or ‘The Full Monty’. I have suggested as much to my writer friend, but he thinks it lacks potential.
So what do you all think? Do you think it sounds funny and intriguing? Or not? This could be an IMHO, but I thought I’d rather ask the denizens of the Cafe.
