Cannot tell a lie...

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."
