Too tired to blog about current events. Besides, current events are really gloomy these days. So… before I part for a four-day St. Valentine/President’s Day puente, I leave you dear readers with a story that could have very well happened in… well, pretty much anywhere in the U.S.
A florist goes to the barber for a haircut. After the cut he goes to pay the barber, the barber says, “I am sorry I cannot accept money from you. You have just launched your flower business and I want to help. The florist is happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning, when the barber goes to open his shop, he finds a thank you card and one dozen roses waiting at his door.
A police goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. The barber replies: I’m sorry I cannot accept money from you. You are doing a real good job for the community, so this haircut is on me. The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning the barber goes to open his shop and finds a thank you card and one dozen doughnuts waiting at his door.
Then a Mexican guy goes for a haircut, and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. The barber replies: I can’t accept money from you; I know how hard you’ve worked to come all the way here looking for a better life for you and your family… I couldn’t possibly charge you for the haircut…
The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop guess what he finds there?………………
A dozen Mexicans waiting for a free haircut!
Ok, it’s funny! (I guess it’s even funnier if you’re Mexican and don’t have to pay with blood for being un-PC.)
