From: R.P.
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 'thankyou' 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.
