The Haircut
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked
about his bill, and the barber replied, ' I cannot accept money from you , I
' m doing community service this week. ' The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a
' thank you ' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill,
the barber again replied, ' I cannot accept money from you , I ' m doing
community service this week. ' The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a ' thank you ' card and a dozen donuts
waiting for him at his door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his
bill, the barber again replied, ' I can not accept money from you. I ' m > doing
community service this week. ' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen
Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the
citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
