The Hair Dryer
A distinguished young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the Priest
Beside her, 'Father, may I ask a favor?'
'Of course, my 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?
The priest answered; '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 he 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.'
