With barber shops and hair salons closed in most states this story is very timely. We all need to pitch in and help one another during times of stress, difficulty or danger. Enjoy this story. There are lessons to be learned from it.
The Story of the Haircut
Blessed are those that can give without remembering and take without forgetting.
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."
If you don't forward this, you have no sense of humor. Nothing bad will happen, however, you must live with yourself knowing that laughter is not in your future.

No, true story.
I was going to post it in the main section, but I never know what Admin considers as Chit-Chat or Political. It seems to not matter which category I post it in. They always move it.

Dtucker300 —— I’ve seen many times that the quote you credited to Ronald Reagan about diapers and politicians was, in fact, originally credited to Mark Twain !! However, I guess it really doesn’t matter who originally uttered it since the words are SO true !!!!!! I imagine it’s been true for a VERY LONG time !!!!!

Do you mean the one about government is like an alimentary canal, everything that comes out the other end is crap? Or, do you mean the one about how politicians are like the diaper on a baby, both need to be changed often? The first one, i think, is Reagan while I am pretty sure the second is Mark Twain. I don't know for sure.

Democrats and diapers are the same.
They need to be changed and often.
