Funny One

A Rabbi goes to visit the neighborhood barber. When it comes time to pay, the barber refuses saying “No charge. You are a man of the cloth. I could never take anything from you.”

The next day, the barber arrives to open and finds on his doorstep a bag full of bagels with a note from the Rabbi. ”Blessings to you for your act of kindness.”

That same day, a priest comes in for a haircut. When it comes time to pay, the barber again refuses saying, “You are a man of the cloth, I could never take anything from you.”

The next day, the barber arrives to open and finds on his doorstep a lovely basket of fruit with a note from the priest. ”Blessings to you for your act of kindness.”

That same day, a Church of Christ preacher comes in for a haircut. When it comes time to pay, once again the barber refuses saying, “You are a man of the cloth, I could never take anything from you.”

The next day, the barber arrives to open. On his doorstep he finds three more Church of Christ preachers.
