A distinguished young woman on a flight from Ireland asked
the priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a
favor?"
"Of course. What may I do for you?"
"Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for
my mother's birthday that is unopened and well over the
Customs limit, and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any
way you could carry it
through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?"
"I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not
lie."
"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you."
When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her.
The official asked, "Father, do you have
anything to declare?"
"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to
declare."
The official thought this answer strange, so he asked, "And
what do you have to declare from your
waist to the floor?"
"I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a
woman, but which is, to date, unused."
Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father.
Next!" *
