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 came in for a haircut, and when he
tried 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.
Later that day, a college professor came in for
a haircut, and when he
tried to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I
cannot accept money
from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The
professor was very
happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber opened his
shop, there was a 'thank
you' card and a dozen different books, such as 'How
to Improve Your
Business' and 'Becoming More Successful.'
Then, a Congressman came in for a haircut, and
when he went to pay his
bill the barber again replied, 'I cannot 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 members of
our Congress. -
