    Saw this in another forum:

    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 can not 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.

    'nuff said.

    But–we elect them.  The fault is ours.  The Greek word for someone uninvolved in the political process is–IDIOT.

    The conventional wisdom is that everyone else's Congressperson or Senator is a fool and should be out… our own is the exception.  😮

    Funny!

    That is true, isn't it?  I wonder why this is exactly.

    I have heard this–untrue here in Western New York–a curse on all of them.

    Untrue in my district in Texas as well, even though my Rep. is a Republican.

    I figured that the punchline was that the congressman was going to say “Oh yeah, I have another 100 hours of community service to do myself or my parole officer is going to be pissed!”
