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 Congressman 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  Congressman is very happy and leaves the shop.   The  next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are 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 members of our Congress.--   Vote carefully this  year.   The  Haircut   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.
