"THIS IS PRICELESS!
OH, THE POWER IN
WORDS...
In parochial school
students are taught that lying is a sin. However,
instructors also
advised that using a bit of imagination was OK to express
the truth
differently without lying. Below is a perfect example of those
teachings:
Getting a Hairdryer
Through Customs.
An attractive 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 my
mother an expensive hair dryer for her birthday.
It is unopened but 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? Hide it 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 first. 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 marvellous
instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which
is, to date,
unused..'
Roaring with
laughter, the official said, 'Go ahead, Father. Next please!'
