“CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) The winner of the state’s annual tall-tale telling contest is planning a career in politics.

Justin Wood, 17, a junior at George Washington High School, was named the biggest liar in last month’s Liars Contest, held in conjunction with the 27th annual Vandalia Gathering.

“I’m just a natural liar, I guess,” said Wood, the recently elected class president who plans to major in political science at either American University or George Washington University.” Boston Globe
