There once was a very good barber in New York City. One day, a florist goes to him for a haircut. As he is about to pay, the barber says, "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 at his door.

A policeman goes to the same barber and, again, the barber refuses payment. The cop 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 doughnuts waiting.

A Malaysian software engineer goes for a haircut and he, too, is told the same thing. The Malaysian software engineer is happy and leaves the shop.

Can you guess what happens the next morning when the barber goes to open his shop? Come on, think like a Malaysian...

A dozen Malaysians waiting for a free haircut!
