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." 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 that day, a policeman came in for a haircut, and when he tried to pay his bill, the barber said, "I am doing community service this week and I cannot take any pay." The next morning there was a dozen donuts waiting for the barber when he opened up his shop. Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber as expected said, "I cannot accept money I am doing community service this week." The Congressman was very happy and left the shop. The very next morning when the barber went to open up his shop, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting to get their free haircuts. And that my friends is the difference between our citizens and the politicians that run our country.
