A distinguished young woman on a flight from Ireland asked
the Priest beside her, 'Father, may I ask a favor?'
'Of course, child. 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 limits, 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 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!'
