Title: The Haircut
Post by: Matthew on July 25, 2010, 11:40:58 PM

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.

I know it's a joke, Matthew, and I enjoyed it.  But I do want to ask you a question.  All those congressmen had been citizens of the country.  What happened?

Ha ha! I've heard that joke before, except it wasn't congressmen but solicitors (or lawyers if you prefer).
