[AT] Why I Love This List!

[Bo Hinch]

Dave , I couldn`t resist , guess the devil made me do it .

 A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the
Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are
all those clocks?"

  St. Peter answered, "Those are
  Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the
hands on your clock will move."

  "Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?

  "That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she
never told a lie."

  "Incredible," said the man, "whose clock is that one?"

  St. Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have
moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire Life."

  "Where's Hillary Clinton's clock?" asked the man.

  "Hillary's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."
