Being too kind

A barber gave a haircut to a priest one day. When the priest tried to pay for the haircut, but the barber refused, saying, "you do God's work." The next morning the barber found a dozen bibles at the door to his shop.

A policeman came to the barber for a haircut, and again the barber refused to accept his money. "You protect the public," he said. The next morning the barber found a dozen doughnuts at the door to his shop.


A lawyer came to the barber for a haircut, and again the barber refused payment, saying, "you serve justice." The next morning, the barber found a dozen lawyers standing in line, waiting for a free haircut
