Many jokes are made up about famous people

题目内容：

Many jokes are made up about famous people. Here is one about Bill Clinton, the former(先前的) president of the United States.

Hillary died and went to heaven. When she was met by the Angel Gabriel she noticed behind her a wall of unimaginable proportions(部分) that was completely covered with clocks.

“What are they?” she asked the heavenly angel in complete surprise.

“They are lie clocks. Each time you lie, the hand moves a little bit to the right. See that one?” the angel pointed to one that hadn’t moved at all,“That’s Mother Theresa’s, who has never told a lie. And that one, ” he points to another,“That was Abraham Lincoln’s. He only ever told two lies. ”

Hillary looked around with some interest, then wandered back over to the angel again. “Excuse me, ” she asked, “but where is Bill Clinton’s clock?”“The Lord Jesus is using it in his office for a ceiling fan. ”
