American attitudes

Jay · 07-02-2009

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 not 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.

this was forwarded to me, and I have no idea who the original author is.........

That was a pretty good one. And very true. I really think that's how most true Americans are.

And sadly its also how most of our politicians are.

Repped, very true and funny!

After two months, the politicians took ownership of the shop.

....and 1 week later, it went under. Due to embezzling.

That's a good one.

And then they voted to bail it out with tax payer money?

And then a month or two after being artificially "propped up" from a taxpayer bailout, the Barber Shop still had to resort filing chaper 11 due to poor business practices.
