The difference between politicians and people like you and me

A big vote of thanks to Agent 6 for passing along this little gem. Very à propos to Canadians, with polling day just four days off.

When voting remember the difference between the politicians and the general public. 

A cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber replies, "I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week." The cop was happy and left the shop. 

When the barber went to open up the next morning, he found a thank-you card and a dozen Tim Horton donuts waiting for him at his door. Then an MP came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week." The MP was very happy and left the shop. 

When the barber went to open up the next morning, he found a dozen MP's lined up at the frontdoor, waiting for a free haircut! 

That, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it. 

As Ronald Reagan said, "Both politicians and diapers need to be changed often and for the same reason." In Canada, it's waaaaay past time for a change!
