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 Democratic Senator 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 Senator was very happy and left the shop. The
next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Democratic
Senators lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the
citizens of our country and some of the politicians who run it.
