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!
 
If you don't forward this you have no sense of humor.
 
Nothing bad will happen, however, you must live with yourself
knowing that laughter is not in your future.
