Yesterday I received a word of encouragement from a St Brelade constituent. I have published it here with the accompanying joke, which I think is hilarious:
'It's about time for people to stop looking at this Island through ROSE coloured glasses the well off don't want to see or hear the truth about the other side of life on the rock. The Estabilshment party likes to hide it all away till it comes back and bite them and even then its always someone else to blame - never mind what some of the journos say; the old adage still fits: the Truth will OUT.'
So in this austere times, here is a bit of light relief sent in by one of my St Les Quennevais consituents:

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 States Member 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 States Member was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen States Members lined up waiting for a free haircut.

It's a good tailoring of an old joke to Jersey!
ReplyDeleteI don't know where it originated from. Here's a USA version, with a slightly different punchline:
>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.
>
>BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE
>CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON!
the joke would be funny but its to close to the truth
