Here's a good one, and NO it's not the brazillian joke! The Lie Clock:
"The Lie-Clock"

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 Bush's clock?" asked the man.

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

1. Yes, it's been around since at least 1996.

This was a favorite of the RW when Clinton was president.

2. Much older than that!
The first I heard it, it was about Nixon.

5. Really?? I never heard it before. But I was only a little one when
Nixon was president.

And I was aghast at what they did to Clinton, but was also partially politically brain dead at the time, so I never heard it.

Well I guess a joke is as old as the first time you hear it.:)

That just proves that RWers aren't that creative.;)

But we all knew that already.
