One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he
asks for his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money
from you. I am doing community service this week.' The florist
is pleased and leaves.
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 next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a 'thank
you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when
he tries to pay his bill, the barber again says, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The professor is very happy and leaves.
The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a 'thank
you' card and a dozen different books, such as 'How to Improve Your
Business' and 'Becoming More Successful.'
Then a Member of Parliament comes in for a haircut , and when he
goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, 'I cannot acceptmoney
from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The MP is very
pleased and leaves.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen
Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that illustrates the fundamental difference between
the citizens of our country and their Members of Parliament.
