A preacher went into a Washington, D.C. barbershop, got his hair cut and asked how much he owed. "No charge, preacher," the barber said. "I consider it a service to the Lord."

When the barber arrived at his shop the next morning, he found a dozen New Testaments on the stoop along with a thank you note from the preacher.

A few days later, a police officer came in for a haircut and asked how much he owed. "No charge, officer," the barber answered. "I consider it a service to my community."

The next morning the barber found a dozen doughnuts on the stoop along with a thank you note from the police officer.

A few days after that, a Senator walked in and later asked how much he owed. "No charge," the barber replied. "I consider it a service to my country."

The next morning when he arrived at the shop, the barber found a dozen Senators waiting on the stoop.
