Old one but worth reposting.

THE 

HAIRCUT

Blessed are those 

that 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 can not 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.

As Ronald Reagan 

said:

BOTH POLITICIANS 

AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON!
