Vroomtattat 2nd Gear July 10, 2009 Share July 10, 2009 There was once a very good barber in New York, he gives free haircut to everybody who comes into his shop to have their haircuts. One day a florist goes to him for a haircut.. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber and the barber replies: 'I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service.' The florist is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting at his door . A policeman goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: 'I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service.' The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting at his door. A Singaporean software engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: 'I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service.' The Singaporean software engineer is very happy and leaves. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there? A dozen Singaporeans waiting for a free haircut! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freestylers09 5th Gear July 10, 2009 Share July 10, 2009 your story remind me of soemthing similar.. when i bought someting from a shop (mama shop kind) Far East Plaza last time, i saw the owner taking a photo with Jeff Hardy (WWE wrestler). i asked him what so heng ah..take with a wrestler,he told me that Jeff Hardy visited his shop and chatted about places to visit in Sg and took a photo with him and said will send to him once develop the photo. the owner tot he just say say nia.. When JH left Sg, his assistant send the photo after it was developed to the shop owner. Something like a promise made for appreciation that he telling him where's nice in Sg to visit during the stay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
