BURLINGTON, Wis. -- A whopper about a devious baby and his diapers is the top lie of 2008, an organization of champion fibbers declared Monday.
The Burlington Liars Club bestowed its top award for this
The Burlington Liars Club got its start in 1929 when local journalists Otis Hulett and Mannel Hahn fabricated a news story about a lying contest between the Burlington police and fire departments. The police chief won after he said he'd never be good at lying because he never told a lie.
At least the fabricated story seems logical. Police and lawyers probably win the award for greatest liar every year from the club. Though the truth's stranger than fiction, the fire department didn't have a chance, even in a fabricated story!
I was just going to seed this myself when I noticed it was already here. We need a good laugh to start the year. My favorite ia about the bald man.
