The Haircut
One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asks about his bill and the barber replies, ‘I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist is pleased and leaves 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 doz en donuts waiting for him at his door.
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 many members of our Congress.
Hahah! So true!
I’d expect those congressmen to get together and pass a law that forces the barber to give haircuts to people that can’t really afford them, or else, be found guilty of discrimination. If his business goes under from the strain of complying- so what?
Yeah, that’d never happen to barbers.
Just to the mortgage industry, with the added effect of nearly taking down the entire economy in the inevitable collapse, and with the nitwits that passed the stupid lending laws pointing fingers at everyone else but themselves.
If this wasn’t true, I’d laugh.
