The hair  cut

One day a florist goes to a barber for a  haircut. After the cut he
asked about his bill and the  barber replies, 'I cannot accept money
from you. I'm  doing community service this week.' The florist  was
pleased and left the shop.

When the  barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is  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 replies,  'I cannot accept money from you. I'm
doing community  service this week.' The cop is happy and leaves  the
shop.

The next morning when the barber  goes to open up there is a 'thank
you' card and a dozen  donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later that day, a  college professor comes in for a haircut, and when
he  tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot  accept
money from you. I'm doing community service this  week.' The professor
is very happy and leaves the  shop.

The next morning when the barber opens his  shop, there is a 'thank
you' card and a dozen different  books, such as 'How to Improve
Your Business' and  'Becoming More Successful.'

Then, a Member of  Parliament comes in for a haircut , and when he goes
to  pay his bill the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money  from
you. I'm doing community service this week.' The  Member of Parliament
is very happy and leaves the  shop.

The next morning when the barber goes to open  up, there are a dozen
Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends,  illustrates the fundamental difference between
the  citizens of our country and the Members of  Parliament

Clever barber...Roses and a dozen self-help books would cost more than a haircut? ( & no VAT!)
