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 can not 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.
Endnote:  I never supported term limits!! I'm still not certain it's the best way, but I do know one thing. To paraphrase Otto Von Bismarck: If you like laws and sausages, it's better not to see them made. Our 2011-2012 Congress, much like the previous bunch of yokels, care ONLY about two things. Can you guess? Right! Making Obama a one-term President and staying in office forever. [And much like the NYT piece today commenting about the same, it's grossly unfair to compare legislators making laws and sausage companies making sausages. The latter are FAR more adept at their line of work.] end of endnote.
