The Haircut

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 friend, illustrates the fundamental
difference between the citizens of our country and the
politicians who run it.. ​
