The Barber and the Free Haircuts

A priest went into a barbershop for a haircut and when it was done, he asked the barber how much he owed him.

The barber said, “Oh, I never charge the clergy, it’s a mitzvah for your good work.”

When the barber arrived at his shop the next morning, he found a dozen small prayer booklets on the stoop along with a thank you note from the priest.

A few days later a police officer came in. “How much do I owe you?” the cop asked after his haircut.

“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 for a haircut. “How much do I owe you?” he asked afterward.

“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.

Heckle this joke

Nobody has heckled this yet. Suspicious restraint.
