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 were 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.
As Ronald Reagan said: "BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN
AND FOR THE SAME REASON!"
