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 policeman 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.
