The Haircut: congress explained
THE HAIRCUT
Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.
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 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 politicians who run it.
