The consequences of lying

Air Force One crashed in the middle of rural United States.

Panic stricken, the local sheriff mobilized and descended in force on the farm where the crash occurred.

When they got there, the disaster was clear. The aircraft was totally destroyed with only a burned hulk left smoldering in a tree line that bordered a farm. The sheriff and his men enter the smoking mess but could find no remains of anyone, including the president.

They spotted a lone farmer plowing a field not too far away, as if nothing at all had happened. They hurried over to the man's tractor. "Hank," the sheriff yelled, panting and out of breath. "Did you see this terrible accident happen?"

"Yep. Sure did," the farmer mumbled unconcernedly, cutting off his motor.

"Do you realize that is the airplane of the President of the United States?"

"Yep."

"Were there any survivors?"

"Nope. They's all kilt straight out," the farmer answered. "I done buried them all myself. Took me most of the morning.."

"President Obama is dead?" the sheriff shouted.

"Well," the farmer grumbled, restarting his tractor.

"He kept a-saying he wasn't ... but you know what a liar he is."
