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 Congressman 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 Congressman is very happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are 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 members of our Congress.
Handicap Golf A guy about to tee off was approached by a man who held out a card that read, "I am a deaf mute. May I please play through?"
The first man gave the card back, angrily shaking his head, and saying, "No, you CANNOT play through." He assumed the guy read lips so he mouthed, "I can't believe you would try to use your handicap to your own advantage like that! Shame on you!"
The deaf man walked away and the first man whacked the ball onto the green and then walked off to finish the hole.
Just as he was about to put the ball into the hole he was hit in the head with a golf ball that knocked him out cold.
When he came to a few minutes later, he looked around and saw the deaf mute sternly looking at him, one hand on his hip, the other hand holding up four fingers.

1. Breathing
As I approach 72 it is comforting to know that I will not have to meet such high standards.
A guy gets pulled over for speeding 88 MPH in a 45 zone. The cop asks for his drivers license and the guy says, "I'm sorry officer, but my license was suspended after my 5th DUI."
The cop asks for his registration and the guy says, "It's in the glove compartment, but it's not in my name because I stole this car in a car jacking and I killed the woman that owns the car and stuffed her in the trunk and the gun I used is in the glove compartment. At this point the cop tells the guy to keep his hands in sight and he radios for back-up.
When a supervisor shows up, the cop tells him the story and he walks up to the guy in the car. The supervisor asks to see the guy's drivers license and the guy hands it over and it is valid with the guys real name and information.
The supervisor asks for the registration and the guy says, "It's in the Glove compartment." The supervisor tells the guy to keep his hands in sight and walks around to the passenger side and opens the glove compartment. There is the registration in the guys name and everything seems in order.
Next the supervisor asks the guy to get out and open the trunk. The guy opens the trunk and the only thing there is a spare tire.
At this point the supervisor tells the guy what the other cop had told him. The guy says "I'll bet that lying A--Hole told you I was speeding too!"
A very tired nurse walks into a bank, totally exhausted after an eight-hour shift.
Preparing to write a check, she pulls a rectal thermometer out of her purse and tries to write with it.
When she realizes her mistake, she looks at the flabbergasted teller and without missing a beat, she says: 'Well, that's great....that's just great....some a--hole's got my pen!'
The famous Olympic skier Picabo Street (pronounced Pee-Ka-Boo) is not just an athlete...she is now a nurse currently working at an Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She is not permitted to answer the hospital telephones any longer. It caused too much confusion when she would answer the phone and say, Picabo, I.C.U.

Dedicate some of your life to others. Your dedication will not be a sacrifice. It will be an exhilarating experience because it is intense effort applied toward a meaningful end. Dr. Thomas Dooley
A sick man walks into his doctor's office. He has an orange stuck in one ear, an apple shoved in the other ear, and a banana hanging out of one nostril. The nurse makes the sick man sign the usual paper work, the escorts the sick man to one of the waiting rooms. After a short wait, the doctor comes in to see the man. The sick man says to the doctor, "Doc! You gotta help me! I feel horrible! I can hardly breath, I can hardly hear, I don't know what's wrong with me!" The doctor say to the sick man, "Take it easy, I can fix you up in no time. This is an easy diagnosis. You're just not eating right!"
A pharmacist is going over the directions on a prescription bottle with an elderly patient. "Be sure not to take this more often than every 4 hours," the pharmacist says.
"Don't worry," replies the patient. "It takes me 4 hours to get the lid off".
Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrived at an Irish border checkpoint.
Paddy the officer stops them and tells them: 'It is illegal to put 5 people in a Quattro, Quattro means four'
'Quattro is just the name of the automobile,' the Englishman retorts disbelievingly. 'Look at the papers: this car is designed to carry five persons.''
You cannot pull that one on me,' replies Paddy 'Quattro means four. You have five people in your car and you are therefore breaking the law.
'The Englishmen replies angrily, 'You idiot ! Call your supervisor over I want to speak to someone with more intelligence!'
'Sorry,' responds Paddy, 'Murphy is busy with 2 guys in a Fiat Uno.'
A Couple at long last determined that their years of marrage had to come to an end. After many attempts at reconciliation, enough was enough, and they decided to go to an attorney.
The attorney asked the husband, "what has brought you to the point where you're unable to keep this marriage together?"
"I think it's because in 20 years of marriage we haven't been able to agree on one thing," he said.
A police officer stops a young woman for speeding and politely asks to see her license.
She relies, in a huff, "I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday you took away my license and today you expect me to show it to you!"
A man'swife had just bought a new line of expensive cosmetics guaranteed to make her look years younger. She sat in front of the mirror for what seemed to be hours applying the "miracle" products. Finally, when she finished, she turned to her husband and said, "Honey, honestly now, what age would you say I am?"
He nodded his head slowly, then carefully said, "Well, judging from your skin, 20. Your hair....hmmmm, 18, and your figure, 25."
After finishing his extensive examination, the doctor looked at his patient and said, "I can't find the exact cause of your trouble, but it's probably due to drinking too much."
The patient replied, "Gee, Doc, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll come back when you're sober."
