Clocks in Heaven
A man died and went to Heaven. As he stood in front of the Pearly Gates, hesaw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, What are all those clocks?'
St. Peter answered, 'Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone who has ever lived on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move.'
Oh, said the man. Whose clock is that?
That's Mother Teresa's, replied St. Peter. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.
Incredible', said the man..
And whose clock is that one?
St. Peter responded, That's Abraham Lincoln's clock.
The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abraham told only two lies in his entire life.
Where's David Cameron's clock?' asked the man.
St Peter replied, Jesus has it in his office.. He uses it as a ceiling fan....'

Yes, it falls a bit flat.
David Cameron fibs to cover his butt, like every politician in history.
The joke works better when applied to someone who had a whole team of spin doctors to continually distort the truth, repeatedly misled Parliament, cost the lives of hundreds of soldiers and civilians through his willingness to lie to the nation, etc.
Hence, it was a bit funnier with "Tony Blair".
With "David Cameron" it just sounds a bit like a Party Political Broadcast On Behalf Of The Labour Party.
