*"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 replies, '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 Member of Parliament 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
Member of Parliament
was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up,
there were a dozen
Members of Parliament 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.
