Are your pants on fire?

That's the question being asked by one group in southeast Wisconsin that's on an annual quest to find the world's best liar.

"It started out locally and now it's a national thing," explains club VP Ed Impenn. "We've gotten entries from all over the world."

The Burlington Liar's Club was a started in 1929 as a shoot-off of a story that circulated around Burlington that city officials, including fire fighters and police officers, had a contest to see who had the best lie.

For the past 80 years, the club's goal has been to each year award the person who sends them the most creative lie. 

"Use your head and think a little bit and try to make somebody have a good time with it and laugh a little," says Impenn.

The club usually receives about 300 entries. This year they'll stop accepting them on December 15th - the deadline to enter.   

All you have to do is send the club your lie, along with 1 dollar.

"When somebody enters and they send a dollar along we'll send them a booklet that tells the history of the liar's club and it has the winning lie from every year."

Impenn says one of his favorite winning lies was last year's in which Gareth Seehawer of Oconto Falls wrote his "grandson is the most persuasive liar" he has ever met because "by the time (the boy) was 2 years old he could dirty his diaper and make his mother believe someone else had done it."

The winner doesn't get a trophy, but they do get to be one of the proud few who can claim to be a World Champion Liar.
