The Pastor, the Boys, and the Dog (from a sermon illustration).

A pastor noticed a group of boys standing in a circle around a small, stray dog. "What are you doing boys?", the pastor asked. "Telling lies", one of the boys replied, "and the one who tells the biggest lie gets the dog".

The pastor was shocked, "why, when I was your age", he said, "I never thought of telling a lie". The boys looked around at one another, a little crestfallen. Finally, one of the boys shrugged and said, "ok, I guess he wins the dog".
