A man dies.
When he reaches the pearly gates St Peter is standing there waiting to welcome him in. As the man walks through the gates he sees dozens and dozens of clock faces suspended behind St Peter.
"wow, why so many clock faces?" asks the man.
"Well, throughout your life we use a clock face to record how often you lie. Every time you lie the hands go round the clock face once."
St Peter points to a couple of the clock faces.
"That one over there belonged to Mother Superior, she never told a lie so the hands on that clock face have never moved...not even once. That clock face over there belonged to Abraham Lincoln, he lied twice so the hands have rotated twice."
"oh" says the man. He then pauses for a moment and has a think.
"Do you have a clock face for Gordon Brown?" asks the man.
"well yes we do actually" says St Peter
"But its in God's office at the moment, he's using it as a fan".
