Interesting email I jus received, and the sender's a Pub.

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 was 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.
REMEMBER POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS SHOULD BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

3. Alas this story has been circulating for a long time

I am betting this same congressman though is running for a term, isn't he?

4. As I read the first two paragraphs

all I could think was, a dozen roses and a dozen donuts won't pay his rent or put food on the table. There is a self-serving aspect to the first part of the glurge that bothers me.

5. What crime had the florist and barber done to have to do community service?
