Subject: Ice Fishing
The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the
Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win..
There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a
week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle
things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would
win the election.
Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest
between the two candidates to determine the winner.
After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the
contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesot a .
There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent
out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch
for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the
first day, McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.
Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was
just having another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch
up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came
in again with none.
That evening, Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi got together secretly with
Obama and said, 'Obama, I think John McCain is a low-life, cheatin'
son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with
fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.'
The next night (after McCain returns with 50 fish), Harry said to
Obama, 'Well, tell me, how is John Mc. cheating?'
Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's
cutting holes in the ice.'
