A FLORIST went to a barber for a haircut. When he asks about his bill, the barber replies: “I cannot accept money from you.

I’m doing community service this week.”

When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a thank-you card and a dozen roses waiting for him.

Later, a cop goes in for a haircut. When he tries to pay, the barber replies: “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.”

The next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a thank-you card and a dozen doughnuts waiting for him.

Later that day, a college professor goes in for a haircut.

When he tries to pay, the barber replies: “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.”

The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a thank-you card and a dozen different books.

Then, an MP goes in for a haircut. When he tries to pay, the barber replies: “I cannot accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week.”

The next morning, there are a dozen MPs waiting for free haircuts.

That, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and MPs. Vote carefully.
