{UAH} THE ART OF LYING TRUTHFULLY
THE ART OF LYING TRUTHFULLY
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 HAIR DRYER THROUGH CUSTOMS
An attractive young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the Priest
beside her, 'Father , may I ask a favour?' '
'Of course child. What may I do for you?', replied the priest.
'Well, I bought my mother an expensive hair dryer 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 marvellous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.'
Roaring with laughter, the official said, 'Go ahead, Father.'
