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 shop, there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen 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.
