The Barbershop

A priest goes into a barbershop and gets a haircut and thanks the barber and asks how much he owes him. The barber says, "Father, you're a holy man, a man of the cloth, I couldn't charge you, it's on the house." The priest says th ank you very much and leaves. And the next day, magically appearing on the doorstep of the barbershop are 12 gold coins. A few days later a Buddhist monk goes in for a shave and a shine and when it comes time to pay the barber says, "No money, please, you're a spiritual leader, a man of the people, it's on the house." And the next day, magically appearing on the doorstep are 12 rubies. The following week a rabbi comes in, gets a haircut, goes to pay and the barber says, "No, Rabbi, you are a learned man , a wise man, I can't take any money from you, go in peace." And the next day, magically appearing on the doorstep of the barbershop are 12 rabbis.
