Weather: Shitty.
And the sad part is the weather is going to stay shitty for a while. Snow is melting slowly but surely, not quick enough for me though. I am ready for Spring. Last day of March, that means snowmobile season is officially over tonight at midnight. Catholic schools students are taught that lying is a sin. However, instructors are also advised that using a bit of imagination is OK to express the truth differently without lying. Below is a perfect example of this teaching:
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 favor?’
‘Of course child. What can I
do for you?’
‘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?
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 tell a
lie.’.
‘With your honest face,
Father, I’m sure that 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 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
official said, ‘Go ahead, Father. Next please!
