I received this as an email forward recently and thought it belonged here instead.
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 cannot 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.
It’s funny because it’s true!
Now I want a donut.
Dave2 – I promise you, if you elect me as Mayor of yestotebagopolis, FREE DONUTS, generously provided by those evil donut corporations who have selfishly kept their profits for themselves and their own families. Don’t you deserve more? Don’t you deserve conveniently packaged sugar? The doughy goodness of fair-play will be delivered to you in convenient packs of 6 or 12, covered with the glaze of equality for all.
Ha, so true. That reminds me, I need a haircut.
Karl – know of any free ones?
Hahaha!
Now I want some roses.
Sybil – If I had a wife named Rose, and I accidentally called her by another name, does she still slap me?
Exactly.
