Software Engineers :)

There was a good old barber in Mumbai. 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". 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 Confectioner goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber he again refuses to take the money. The Confectioner is happy and leaves the shop.

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.

A Software Engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay, the barber again refuses the money saying that it was a community service.

The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there ?



A Dozen Software engineers waiting for a free haircut... with Printouts of forwarded mail mentioning about the free haircut !
