Red Nose Day
On
Monday a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked
about how much do I owe you and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from
you this week, I'm doing free haircuts till Friday red nose day 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 replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing free haircuts till Friday red nose day this week..' The
police man 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 doughnuts 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'm doing charity work for red nose day 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.
