HILARIOUS JOKES AND HUMOR ARCHIVESOne day, as he was opening his shop, a very kind and generous barber was feeling all the more kind and generous- perhaps because it was nearing the Thanksgiving holiday, and he had much for which to be grateful. The first customer to enter the shop for a hair cut was a local baker. The barber, wanting to express his gratefulness, decided to give the baker a free haircut. The next morning, when the barber came to work, he found a dozen freshly baked doughnuts on his doorstep, with a note of gratitude to the barber. This really encouraged the barber, and made him even more grateful for life than he was the day before. In fact, he was so grateful that he decided to give the first customer of the day a free hair cut and a free donut also. Soon his first customer did arrive: a local florist. The florist was delighted with the free service and immensely enjoyed the doughnut. The next morning, when the barber came to work, he found a dozen fresh roses on his doorstep, with a note of gratitude from the florist. This really encouraged the barber, and made him even more grateful about life than he was the previous day, or even the day prior to the previous day. In fact, he was so grateful and overjoyed about his good fortune, that he decided to give another free haircut to whoever might be the first customer of the day. Soon a local pastor came in, and since this was the first customer, the barber gave him a free hair cut, as well as a rose to take home for his wife. The pastor was delighted with the service, and thanked the barber profusely. That night, as the barber closed his shop, he wondered what good fortune might befall upon him the next day. The next morning, when the barber came to work, he found a
dozen preachers on his doorstep.
 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
