Re: The haircut!

[Bugsy]

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 was

pleased and left the shop.

When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning 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 tries 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.

The 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 that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when

he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept

money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The professor

is very happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a 'thank

you' card and a dozen different books, such as 'How to Improve

Your Business' and 'Becoming More Successful.'

Then, a Member of Parliament 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 Member of Parliament

is very happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen

Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between

the citizens of our country and the Members of Parliament

ONLY a dozen MPs?  Didn't the others get to know about the free haircuts then?

Economic problem solved instantly

 Dear Mr. Darling,

 

 Please find below my suggestion for fixing Britain's economy.

 

 Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will

squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses,

 use the following plan.

 

 You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

 

There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work

force. Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early

 retirement with the following stipulations:

 

1) They MUST retire. Twenty million job openings -

 Unemployment fixed

 

2) They MUST buy a new British car. Twenty million cars

 ordered - Auto Industry fixed

 

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage

- Housing Crisis fixed

 

4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university

 - Crime rate fixed

 

 5) They MUST buy £50 of alcohol/tobacco a week .....and

 there's your money back in duty/tax etc

 

It can't get any easier than that!

 

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of

parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and

second home allowances

 

And remember - poo is Brown
