Got Funny

On a Monday, a florist drops in at the barber shop for a
haircut.  When the job is done, he gets out his wallet, and the barber
says, “I cannot accept money from you.  I’m doing community service this
week.”  The florist is pleased and leaves the shop. When the barber opens
his shop on Tuesday, he finds a thank-you card and a dozen roses at his
door. Later that day, a police officer comes in for a haircut.  When he
tries to pay his bill, the barber says, “I cannot accept money from you.
I’m doing community service this week.”  The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning, Wednesday, the barber finds a thank-you card and a
dozen doughnuts waiting for him at the door. Later that day, a college
professor comes in for a haircut.  Once again, the barber says, “I cannot
accept money from you.  I’m doing community service this week.”  The
professor is very happy and leaves the shop. Thursday, when the barber
arrives at his shop, he finds a thank-you note and a dozen books with
titles such as How to Improve Your Business and Becoming More Successful.
Later that day, a Congressman comes in for a haircut.  When he gets out 
his wallet, the barber says, “I cannot accept money from you.  I’m doing
community service this week.”  The Congressman is elated and leaves the
shop. On Friday, when the barber opens his doors, he finds a dozen more
Congressmen lined up to get free haircuts. And that, my friends,
illustrates the fundamental difference between citizens of our country and 
members of Congress.  Vote carefully this year.
