The Barber
While cutting the hair, the barber asked Minister Kapil Sibal, ‘’What’s this Swiss Bank issue?”
Kapil Sibal shouted, “YOU, you are cutting hair or making inquiry?”
Barber: “Sorry Sir, I just asked.”
Next day, while cutting the hair, he asked Minister Pranab Mukherjee, “Sir, what’s this Black money issue?’’
Pranab shouted, ‘’Why did you ask me this question?’’
Barber: ‘’Sorry Sir, just asked you’’
Next day, CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) interrogated the Barber, ‘’Are you an agent of Baba Ramdev?’’
Barber: “No Sir.”
CBI: “Are you the agent of Anna?”
Barber: “No Sir.”
CBI: “Then while cutting the hair, why you ask the Ministers about Swiss Bank and Black money issues?”
Barber: “Sir, I do not know why, when I ask about Swiss Bank or Black money, Ministers’ hair stand up straight; and that helps me to cut the hair easily; that’s why I go on asking.”

From one of Essop’s fables has arisen the popular proverb. “chicken feather on the head of chicken thief.” Conscience is a relentless pursuer which never allows peace of mind to the evil doer.
