The Barber Shop

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 cannot 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.


Tag Sale Special

I was getting ready for a tag sale one summer day.

Since it was so humid out, I decided to stay inside my air-conditioned house and mark the special stickers I had bought for the sale.

Then I slapped them on my blouse, ran outside, stuck them on the appropriate items and rushed back inside.

I did this until every item was labeled. Later that day a UPS man came by the house with a delivery.

I noticed that as I was signing for the package, he seemed ill at ease.

It was only after he left that I noticed there was one sticker still attached to the front of my blouse.

It read “Make me an offer.”


Wedded Blitz

The minute I walked into the post office, the postmaster noticed the new earrings my husband had given me.
 
“Those must be real diamonds,” she said.

“Yes,” I said. “How could you tell?”

“Because,” she said, “no one buys fake diamonds that small.”


That's Our Education System

A student seeking a job at our university was handed an application.

He dutifully filled out his name and address.

When it came to the entry “length of residence,” he wrote: “Approximately 30 feet.”

According to a recent study, men on dating sites are more popular if they mention dancing or cooking. Because if there’s one thing women love, it’s a man who can lie.

Not what I meant, guv’na


My daughter said something to me that I didn’t think was very polite.

I told her she needed to say it again in a nicer way—so she repeated it with a British accent.
