The Haircut
An acquaintance submitted the following which I will paraphrase in the interest of space:
A florist entered a barber shop for a haircut and when he went to pay the barber refused payment saying he was doing community service this week. The next morning he found a dozen roses on his doorstep with a thank you note.
A policeman went in for the same service and again the barber refused payment saying he was performing a community service. The next morning he found a dozen donuts on his doorstep with a thank you note.
The next day a congressman went in for a trim and again the barber refused payment for the reason as stated. When he opened his shop the next morning he found a dozen congressmen on his doorstep all looking for a free haircut. (Crosses party lines)

P.S. As I am currently in need of a trim myself I would quote the Old Vaudevillian who said "I'd better get a haircut or buy a violin."
