Getting a hair dryer through customs

[cateyes1]

In parochial school students are taught that lying is a sin. However, instructions 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 favor?' '

'Of course child. What may I do for you?'

'Well, I bought my mother an expensive hair dryer for 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 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!'

Lying by omission?  At any rate, it's a good thing she wasn't sitting next to a nun - that would have required an even greater degree of 'creativity'.

It did occur that a nun could work it the same way, as long as she didn't make a 'habit' of it however, I have recently noticed TSA wanding and taking priests/nuns aside for searches before, (no exceptions since 9/11).

Just so you know, when I noticed that I did turn to my girlfriend and comment 'look at that, babe - they're busting the Flying Nun'.  To which she remarked, "Nowadays, the TSA would hassle Sally Field too."

That particular nun wasn't Sally Field pretending to be a nun though.

OMG that was a good one i am still laughing but it is pretty true about a priest they are rarely questioned on anything when it comes to that

OOOOOOOK, I'm sooooooo lost 

Any nun who boards an aircraft is a de facto flying nun; in other words, 'nun of the above'.

Under those circumstances, TSA would still be as likely to wand his 'wand' as not though.
