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 doughnuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Member of Congress 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 Member of Congress was
very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to
open up, there were a dozen Members of Congress 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.
