Catholic schools students are taught that lying is a sin. Instructors are also advised that a bit of imagination is OK to express the truth differently without lying. This is a perfect example of this teaching the truth:
GETTING A HAIR DRYER THRU U.S. CUSTOMS:
An attractive young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favor of you?"
"Of course child. What can I do for you?"
"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? Could you possibly hide it under your robes for me?"
"I would love to help you my dear; but, I must warn you, I will not lie!"
"With your honest face, Father, I'm sure 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 a little strange, so he asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist down to the floor?"
"I have a marvelous instrument that has been designed for use on women, but which, to date, remains unused."
Roaring with laughter, the Customs Officer said, "Go ahead, Father. Next, please!"
Thanks Dan!
