The Free Haircut

Blessed are those who 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 were a ‘thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later a merchant 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 merchant 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 Politician 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 Politician was very happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up there were a dozen Politicians 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. Sorry if you are a politician 🙂

    Thanks, Sara ji.

    In India, where we are going for some unhappy political change, and there is so much talk about politicians, this story comes as a good laugh and “stress-burster”!

    Dear Sara

    Thanks for such for your valiable story which really touched the existing position in our area. I am sure that the Barber is so lucky just to find more politicans for hair cut. He is lucky coz they do not take the Barber Shop itself.
    Regards,

    Mavro

    Someone said that some politicians were travelling and had an accident in their bus in a Nigerian village. The villagers hastily buried them according to Islamic tradition. When the police got there and inquired if they were all dead ? A villager said that when they were being buried, one of them screamed that am not dead, but you know, this politicians can lie.
