    KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - The deadline is looming to become the World Champion Liar.

    Burlington Liars' Club president Joel Weis told the Kenosha News that people are taking life too seriously because they've received less than 50 entries so far.

    The deadline to enter the club's 80th annual World Champion Lie contest is Dec. 15. There is no age limit in the international contest, which typically draws about 300 entries.

    Last year's winning lie was submitted by Gareth Seehawer of Oconto Falls. He said his "grandson is the most persuasive liar" he has ever met. Seehawer said "by the time (the boy) was 2 years old he could dirty his diaper and make his mother believe someone else had done it."
