BURLINGTON, WI (WTAQ) - For the first time in a decade, the Burlington Liars’ Club has chosen somebody from outside Wisconsin as its annual World Champion Liar.

Rick Schaff of Devils Lake North Dakota tells the story of a secretary who learned that a branch office was out of paper for a fax machine – so she faxed some over.

Schaaf gets a certificate from the Burlington Liars’ Club, as well as his 15 minutes of fame.

Over 500 entries were submitted this year.

Gene Lasch of Shawano placed second, and Ed Zilmore of Phoenix was third.
