> A man passed away and went to heaven. When the man arrived at the
> pearly gates, St. Peter said, "Come on in. I'll show you around.
> You'll like it here."  Walking through the gates, the man noticed
> clocks everywhere.  There were grandfather clocks, wall clocks,
> watches, and clocks in every corner.  It appeared that heaven was
> nothing more than a giant clock warehouse. Surprised at how heaven
> looked, the man asked, "St. Peter, what's the deal? Why are all these
> clocks here in heaven?"  St.Peter  replied, "The clocks keep track of
> things on earth.  There is one Clock for each person. Every time the
> person on earth tells a lie, his clock moves one minute."  "For
> instance, this clock is for Sam, the used car salesman.  If you watch
> it closely, it will move." "Click." The minute hand on Sam's  clock
> moved one minute. "Click." It moved another minute.  "Sam must be into
> closing a customer right now," said St. Peter.  "The minute hand on
> his clock moves all day." The man and St. Peter continued walking.
> Soon, they came to a clock  with cobwebs on the minute hand. "Whose
> clock is this?" asked the man.  "That clock belongs to the Widow Mary.
> She is one of the finest, God-fearing, people on earth. I bet her
> clock hasn't moved in a year or two."  They continued walking and
> touring heaven.  The man enjoyed watching the clocks of all his
> friends. When the tour was finished, the man said, "I've seen
> everyone's clock but President Clinton's. Where is his clock?" Saint
> Peter smiled, "Just look up. We use his clock for a ceiling fan."
