The Haircut

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. 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 cannot 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!

Thanks Clarence!

Giants' Eli Manning Pounded

Being a Cowboys fan, I post this not because I hate the G-Men. I post this because someone got hit hard, and had to get 12 stitches in his head - and he plays for a team other than the Cowboys.

If you watch closely to the slow motion part of the video, you can clearly count the hits 1-2-3.. the thrd one of which is what gives Eli a 3-inch gash on his forehead.

Mariano Rivera is one of the most dominant closers in history, but what may be most remarkable is that he has done it by confounding hitters with mostly one pitch - his signature "cutter", or cut fastball.

Having run across this video, along with another infographic over at Chartporn Dot Org, this blew me away. But I'd rather link you to the main article about Rivera. So even if you don't read the entire article (yes it is rather long - but great), at least check out the 2½ minute video. You won't regret it!:
