The Barber

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he  asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money  from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was  pleased and left the shop. 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 policeman 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 copper is happy and leaves the  shop. 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 replies, 'I cannot accept  money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The professor  is very happy and leaves the shop. 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 accept money from  you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Member of Parliament  is very happy and leaves the shop. 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, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between  the citizens of our country and the Members of Parliament. Vote very carefully next month .
