After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.'
The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was 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 replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were 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 politicians who run it.
(Riverside: Pugzilla Press Report) - Ethan Knighton, local hamburger phreak, has given the new Five Guys Burgers & Fries a well deserved "8" on the gastromageto scale of 1-10, with a rare "10" being the best.
When asked what he likes about the burgers Knighton stated that they seem "real" not frozen and that the toppings are plentiful and fresh.
This well known and respected critic of Riverside eateries will undoubtedly visit again. Knighton has yet to award a "10" rating to any local dining spot.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own,
is not provoked, thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories.
After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse. "But why," they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said. "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
Thank you!
Matt Jones must go!
"Thank you Mr. Harvey," from a broadcasting alumni.
God bless you and your family. Rest in Glorious Peace!
Self imposed melodramas are a waste of the human spirit.
Denial of the obvious is a crutch i do not bear.
If your attitude sucks...people will agree that you do as well.
To assume the worst in people is to choose a life of misery.
When transference of bitterness occurs...self-denial is obvious.
Self justification is merely a tool used to rationalize the ego.
One who consistently plays the victim is doomed to become one.
Toxic people should be quarantined.
Misplaced anger only regresses the soul.
To wallow in self-pity is self-defeating at best.
If you don't know how to accept good advice,
then the hole you dig is your own to climb out of.
If complaining is your way of life...even the animals will resent you.
To lie to yourself is an act of cowardice and eliminates all hope of evolution.
To imply one is crazy when you know they speak the truth is a crime worthy of death as it breaks all the laws of nature.
Rational arguments are a waste of time when the ego is the primary voice of your opposition.
Hypersensitivity and melodramatism when bonded together by one's own silly insecurities lead to wasting people's time in a ridiculously egotistical fashion.
If you think only of yourself, if you forget the rights and
well-being of others, or, worse still, if you exploit others,
ultimately you will lose. You will have no friends who will show
concern for your well-being. Moreover, if a tragedy befalls you,
instead of feeling concerned, others might even secretly
rejoice. By contrast, if an individual is compassionate and
altruistic, and has the interests of others in mind, then
irrespective of whether that person knows a lot of people,
wherever that person moves, he or she will immediately make
friends. And when that person faces a tragedy, there will be
plenty of people who will come to help. ~Dalai Lama, from
"The Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom"
