Haircut - a joke about Interim Managers!
There was a good old barber in Brussels. 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 a Community
> Service. The Florist is very happy and leaves the shop looking very smart indeed.
>
> 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 Confectioner goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber
> he again refuses to take the money. The Confectioner is also very happy and leaves the shop looking great with a very professional haircut.
>
> The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is
> another "Thank you" Card and a dozen Cakes waiting at his door.
>
> An Interim Manager goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the
> barber, and again the barber refuses the money saying that it was performing a community service.
>
> The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, guess what he
> finds there......

> Scroll down for answer... . . . . . . .. . . . ...
