A priest walked into a barber shop in Washington, D.C. After he got his haircut, the priest asked how much he owed for the haircut. The barber said, “No charge. I consider it a service to the Lord.” The next morning, the barber arrived at work and found twelve prayer books and a thank you note from the priest laying on the front steps of his shop.
Later that day, a police officer came in and got his hair cut. He then asked how he owed for the trim. The barber said, “No charge. I consider it a service to the community.” The next morning, the barber arrived at work and found a dozen donuts and a thank you note from the police officer sitting in front of his shop.
Then, a Senator came in and got a haircut. When he was done he asked how he owed for the haircut. The barber said, “No charge. I consider it a service to the country.” The next morning, the barber arrived at work and found twelve Senators waiting in line in front of his shop.
