A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked
the Priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favour?" "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; I'm afraid they'll
confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Custom
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
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."
