A distinguished young woman on a flight from
Switzerland 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. The dryer 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 reached the Customs area,
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."
