A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of 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 who has ever been
on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move.'
'Oh', said the man and pointed at one of the clocks 'Whose clock is that?'
'That's Mother Teresa's', replied St. Peter. 'The hands have never moved,
indicating that she never told a lie.'
'Incredible', said the man pointing again 'And whose clock is that one?'
St. Peter responded, 'That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have only
ever moved Twice, telling us that Abraham told only two lies in his entire life.'
'Where's Jimmy Savile's clock?' asked the man.
St Peter replied, 'God has it in his office, he uses it as a ceiling fan.'
