Uncle Sam was first popularized during the War of 1812, when the term appeared on supply containers. Believe it or not, the U. S. Congress didn't adopt him as a national symbol until 1961.

'Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for myMother's birthday. It's unopened, but it's 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 ahead of her. The official asked, 'Father, do you have anything to declare?‘ He replied, 'From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare. 'The official thought this answer was strange, so he asked, 'And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?‘ 'I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused. 'Roaring with laughter, the official said, 'Go ahead, Father. Next!'
