Someone once asked, "So, what is the difference between a Barber and a Cosmetologist anyway?" When a client sits in a Cosmetologist's chair, the stylist will ask, "How would you like your hair cut?" The client will explain, and then the Cosmetologist will suggest a dozen other ideas that better suit the client! When a client sits in a Barber's chair, the stylist will ask, "How would you like your hair cut?" The client will explain, and then the Barber will procede to cut it the way the Barber feels like! Either way....the client is not heard!

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 comes 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 thankyou 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.'   Next, a Congressman comes in for a haircut.  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 illustrates the fundamental difference between the Citizens of our country and the members of our Congress. Vote carefully.
