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 are 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
shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up there are 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 Congressman 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 Congressman is very happy
and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are 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 members of our Congress.

FanTAbulous, Whale! Just what I needed this morning to get me out of a somewhat sour mood.
BTW, I'll be e-mailing you one a bit later that I think is absolutely priceless!! (And yes, Beth sent it.)
Don't look for an e-mail. DD showed me how to include it in my "Hug hug, kiss kiss" post. Rrvit!
