Humour
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. "And 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 President Bush's clock?" asked the man.
"Bush's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

Of course, I don't actually believe Mother Theresa never lied when she was alive. I've actually read enough to suggest she wasn't exactly as saintly as some would believe. Regardless, I think the joke's funny.
You know I find it interesting that you felt the NEED to postscript your joke by pointing out how unsaintly Mother Theresa is. I personally find it interesting and telling whom the Catholic church decides to saint. I think it says more about the church then it does about the person.
And I find the joke funny, even though I sometimes wonder about W. I don't think he's lying so much as he a) he doesn't wish to know anything BAD, and as such isn't informed about reality as much as he should be and b) he has a bunch of liars telling him stuff to help them and c) His faith makes him think that if he BELIEVES in something enough- it will make it so.
