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 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!"



Nice.


Would those be the same congressmen who voted to pay Herring a generous
pension for his years filling a military sinecure with no measurable
work output?

Military workers are far more scrutinized than union "workers".



In Herring's case, I'm sure scrutiny was key. But what has that to do
with his working a sinecure with no measurable work output?
