"Blessed are those that 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 was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a policeman 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 policeman 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 Member of Parliament 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 Member of Parliament was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were 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 politicians who run it.
If you don't forward this you have no sense of humor.

Yes, very apt.
Possibly not in the form of a joke judging by the airfare bill racked up in recent years.

A guy goes to his barber to get a haircut,they strike up a conversation.
Barber asks,any plans for your vacation ?
Guy replies, might take the missus to Italy.
Barber shouts Italy overrated,food is awful,architecture is old,dirty.people rude.Weather hot and rainy.
When I tried to see the pope I could barely see his head through the massive crowd in St.Peters square.
The guys surprised by the barber's words.Said he has already got tickets ,so he is going.
A couple months later and the costumer is back in the barber's chair. Aren't you the guy that went to crappy Italy.
Yeah we went had a great time. Food was fantastic,architecture was breathtaking, the people polite and friendly,weather nice and sunny.
Went to see the pope,could barely make out the top of his head through the millions of people in the square.
The people parted by magic, I COULD SEE THE POPE WALKING TOWARDS ME ,he got closer I dropped to one knee.
