Laura Bush died and went to heaven.

As she stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, she saw a huge wall
of clocks behind him. She 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 Laura, "who's clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved indicating that she
never told a lie."

"Whose clock is that?"

"That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have only moved twice, telling us
that Abe only told 2 lies in his entire life."

Laura asked, "Where's my husband's clock?"

To which St. Peter relied, "George's clock is in my office. I'm using it as
a ceiling fan."
