WisHxGeek Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Each year The Burlington Liar's Club crowns a new World Champion Liar... no little white lies will bring you this prestigious title! I am sure a lot of training goes into winning a world championship of this caliber. Straight from AsSeenInWI.Com Blog is the story of this year's doozy: December 31, 2009 Sun Prairie man's bank quip makes him World Champion Liar for 2009 A jab at the woes of the nation's banks has been named the top tall tale of 2009. The Burlington Liars Club bestowed its highest award Wednesday for this line: "I just realized how bad the economy really is. I recently bought a new toaster oven and as a complimentary gift, I was given a bank." The quip earned Larry Legro of Sun Prairie the dubious — but serious — distinction of being the year's World Champion Liar. So, now I ask our Forum Folks... what is your favorite road trip "lie"?

Keep the Show on the Road! Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 It may or may not be a lie, but my "favorite" BS coming from a local, sometimes referring to the weather or local business activity is: "You Should Have Been Here Yesterday!"

WisHxGeek Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 On Madeline Island (WI) in Tom's Burned Down Cafe there is a sign that reads "Free Beer Tomorrow!" Tom's Burned Down Cafe burned once many years ago and they threw a tarp over the bar and continued on... a few summers ago it burned again. Now the advertisement on the ferry for Tom's reads something like "Burned Again By Popular Demand!" Chris It may or may not be a lie, but my "favorite" BS coming from a local, sometimes referring to the weather or local business activity is: "You Should Have Been Here Yesterday!"
