Congratulations to all who entered our contest. There were many good prevarications this year. However, Regan Buchholz of Bonduel, Wisconsin edged out all the others and made us laugh our loud.
“My parents were so poor that they had to bury grandfather naked just so my dad had a suit to wear to the funeral.”
Honorable Mention in no particular order,
Dennis Lynch of Sarasota, Florida.
“In Spring 2025, I consulted a meteorologist, who in the past had correctly predicted the number and severity of the upcoming hurricane seasons for Southwest Florida. His words were ominous: 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes and six major hurricanes.
When I saw him at the end of the season, I asked him why his prediction so badly missed the mark, since no hurricanes had reached Florida in 2025.
He responded that the hurricanes were confused. They could not find the Gulf of Mexico.”
Tom Steffy of Burlington, Wisconsin.
“As I’ve gotten older I’ve developed dry eyes and several years ago began using eye drops pretty regularly. I’ve gotten so good at it I can now do it with my eyes closed.”
Dale Wheelock of Delavan, Wisconsin.
“I have to stop sending my lies to the Burlington Liars Club. I already have two pants on fire.”
Sandy Wagner of Burlington, Wisconsin. (Sandy is the granddaughter of Hubert “Pink” Schenning, one of the club’s founders.)
“The intense heat from the less filtered sun has been playing havoc with my garden. This year I have fried green tomatoes on the vine.”
Gerard Vail of Chicago, Illinois. (Gerard was our champion in 2021.)
“My brother went out jogging backwards and gained weight!”
