The  Haircut

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 can not  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.

BOTH POLITICIANS AND  DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME  REASON!
