In other words, if the lies are damaging to other people he needs to be confronted and dealt with, if he is only damaging himself, call him a fool, tell him you are not lying, and wait a while to see what happens.

In a party setting she has to out do any one else.
If Josie fell on a 2 inch ice puddle...then she would tell that she fell though a pond that had 14 inches of ice on top.

My husband has an uncle like that! No one can stand him. If you've done it, he has too. If you tried it, he has too! Hilarious!

Well, maybe it is time to call her bluff and follow with a story that includes a midget, a three legged goat, and a kiddy pool full of k-y jelly...

Re: Need Advice on how to deal with Liars
In my opinion, if they're exaggerations (wild or mild), keep a sense of humor. Usually they will embarrass themselves at some point and learn their lesson.
Like someone else said (was it Carpenter the Ultra Con?), if the lies are damaging someone else's reputation in some way or are harmful in any way, then I would say something to let them know that you know what they're saying isn't true, and that you don't want to hear anymore of it.
