Community Service

[Canary42]

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 police officer 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 policeman 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 doughnuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a Member of Parliament 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 Member of Parliament was very happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up there were a dozen Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And there you have the fundamental difference between the fine citizens of our country and the grasping politicians who run it.
