A distinguished young woman on
a flight from Ireland asked the
Priest beside her,

'Father, may I ask a favour?'
'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!'

Did he lie??
