The Haircut

Blessed are those that can give without remembering, and take without forgetting.
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 at his door.
Later, a cop came in for a haircut, and when he tried 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 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 came to work, there were 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 politicians who run it. :mrgreen:

The Basic training version:
I had just arrived at Fort Gordon Ga, for my "AIT" Training.
Following Basic Training you go to school to learn your army "job" or Military occupational specialty (MOS),"
I had just arrived from leave and tought a haircut before signing in to my unit.
As I waited a young Lieutenant and a near to retirement Sergeant Major were close to getting done about the same time.
The barber asked the LT, if he would like some aftershave. LT said, Naa hell no, I don't want my wife thinking I had been visiting a "sporting house".
As the Sergeant Major was getting done he told the barber, Sure slather some on. My wife dont know what a sporting house smells like.
Never got a look at the 2LT's face, but I am sure he was less than happy.
Dont mess with a Sergeant Major.
