George W. Bush dies and somehow makes it to heaven, where he meets St. Peter at the gate. Bush is surprised to see an apparently endless table with what looks to be millions of clocks on it.
When he asks about them, St. Peter replies, "Those are lie clocks. Every person who has ever lived has one. Whenever a person tells a lie, the hands on his lie clock move forward by one minute."
As Bush listens, St. Peter points to one of the clocks. "That's Mother Teresa's. As you can see, the hands have never moved because during her lifetime, she never once told a lie."
St. Perter motions to another one. "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved ahead three minutes because he told three lies during his life."
"That's very interesting," says Bush. "Just for the heck of it, where's my lie clock?"
St. Peter replies, "Oh, I keep it my office. It makes a great ceiling fan!"
