Funny (or not so funny) Fridays ~ A lesson we've learned

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

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 can’t 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.  

 

As Ronald Reagan said: 
“BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED 

OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON! “

Good morning Dorie,

Heartily agree! Someday the poloticians will realize they have to take care of their client not vice versa!

Make yourself an astonishing day.

Funny, but also a little too true, haha.  I think Congress is what is wrong with this Country.

Dorie,  I'd heard that one before and yet it just rings so true. I agree with Michael Jacobs - party affiliation has nothing to do with how it rings the truth bell.
