A Lesson in Politics

   A florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked how much
> he owed, 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 yellow roses
> waiting for him at his door.
>
> The next week, the butcher comes in for a haircut, and when he asks how
> much he owes, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you ,
> I'm doing community service this week.' The butcher was happy and left the
> shop.
>
> The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you'
> card and a leg of lamb, waiting for him at his door.

> The following week, a Member of Parliament came in for a haircut, and when

> 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
