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 favour?'
'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; 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? 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. Next!'

LMAO. In Whichever Way, He Dint Lie!
