The Hairdryer

A young woman, flying home after Christmas, asked the priest sitting beside her if he would help her.

“I will assist you if I can; what seems to be the problem?” he asked. The young woman said, “I have a very expensive, top of the range hairdryer which my mother gave me for Christmas; it is still unopened, and well over the Customs allowance. Could you carry it through Customs for me, under your robes, perhaps?”

The priest said, “All right, I will help you, but I must warn you, I cannot lie.”

At the Customs desk, an official asked the priest, “Father, do you have anything to declare?” “From the top of my head to my waist, I have nothing to declare.”

The official pondered for a moment, and asked, “And do you have anything to declare from the waist down, Father?”

“I have a fantastic instrument which is designed to be used on a woman, but which is, at the moment, unused.”

Through his laughter, the customs officer said, “Go on ahead, Father.”
