One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked
about his bill and the barber replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm
doing community service this week."
The florist is pleased and leaves the
shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is 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 goes to pay his bill the
barber again replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community
service this week."
The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a thank you card and a
dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later a Republican comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill
the barber a gain replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing
community service this week."
The Republican is very happy and leaves the
shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open, there is a thank you card and a
dozen different books, such as "How to Improve Your Business" and "Becoming
More Successful."

Then a Democrat comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the
barber again replies, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community
service this week."
The Democrat is very happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen
Democrats lined up waiting for a free haircut.





And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between left
and right

I love jokes and appreciate your posting. However, it would be a lot
better if you posted jokes that were at least a little bit funny and had
at least a vague relationship to reality.

I found it a bit amusing too, but mostly it's crappy conservative lie/
reasoning. Her other post (the GA Tech fan) was funnier. The
business advice in those Republican books should say to keep giving
out free haircuts until you drive every other barber out of town, then
raise your prices. Better yet, drive the other barbers out of
business, then hire them to work for you at low prices, and let them
do all the work, while you make big profits, then convince people to
look up to you, respect you, and cut your taxes because you, the
*owner*, "create jobs."

What it illustrates is the fundamental lack of any intelligence you clearly
do not possess. It's really better, Alice, to let people assume you are an
idiot rather than showing them that you are.

A true republican businessman would convince the town to give him massive
tax breaks to grow his business. All with the promise of vast wealth being
returned to the community. Then he'd bribe a politician to expand the H1B
visa program to allow him to import slave labor barbers from India. Under
the threat of immediate deportation the barbers are forced to live in
squalor and work 20 hours a day and kick back most of their pay to their
slave master/boss. The businessman republican undercuts all other barbers
in town and soon he is the only one. He then raises his prices - double at
first then double that. He bribes his way into the local government and
gets an exclusive no-bid contract to provide haircuts to all government
workers - at a cost of 500.00 dollars per cut - all paid for by taxpayers.
The businessman gets rich then closes down his shop and leaves town taking
all the taxpayers money with him. He sets up shop in Dubai where he is able
to expatriate all his profits and never pay a nickel in taxes back to his
former country.

Uh, yeah. In your rainbow perfect world. Don't think for an instance this
reflects real life.

Well in *MY* rainbow perfect world, the barber would be Cindy Crawford, and
she'd be topless while giving me a haircut.

Who cares about that silly political sniping?

True. In real life, the Dems would be lined up because the Repub
charged them half the price of a haircut for the name of the barber.

Bully for you. If you find such vacuous tripe funny you are lucky, you
get to laugh a lot.

I do indeed. For example, I am laughing at you right now. You take yourself
way too seriously. That little vein on your temple looks like it's about to
pop.
