The Haircut

Perhaps you've all found this "joke" in your inboxes too, for all I know it may be as old as the hills, but I just got it from my brother-in-law the other day and liked it so much I wanted to share it with the rest of the world. So, for your weekend enjoyment, I give you:

The Haircut...

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut.After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is 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 replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The professor is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber opens his hop, there is a 'thank you' card and a different books, such as 'How to Improve Your Business' and 'Becoming More Successful.

Then, a Congressman comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again
replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are 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 members of our Congress.

Vote carefully this year.

No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."
