Top tall tale for 2009 announced!
Once again, it is that time of the year where we look back on all of the entries received in this years quest for the "World Champion Liar."
This years winner, Larry Legro from Sun Prairie, Wis., wrote us in August.
"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."

Runners up this year include:
When I was young I had a very good chance to make it to the Major League in Baseball. I had a strong arm, blazing speed, and hit the ball well. After being watched by the scouts, it was my blazing speed that did me in. Being a left handed batter and hitting line drives between first and second base, the ball would hit me as I was running to second base. I would then be called out for interference.

I am an air traffic controller. I have the same name as my dad. He won the Burlington Liars Club Championship last year. Big trouble! The pilots won't believe me. Now it takes two to land a plane. I give the pilots my instructions. A second controller tells them I'm telling the truth.

This year the ticks are so bad, that the other day I opened my wallet to show someone a picture of my dog, and there was a tick on the photo!

God came to me in my sleep one night and shouted out the 10 Commandments. When he got to 'Thou Shalt Not Tell A Lie'; He reminded me that I am a member of the Burlington Liars Club.
