Fishing Story
Once upon a time, long, long ago there was a Presidential
election that was too close to call. Neither the Republican presidential
candidate
nor the Democratic presidential candidate had enough votes to win the
election.
Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest
between
the two candidates to determine the final winner. There was much talk about
ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing
competition
seemed the (manly) way to settle things.
The candidate that catches the most fish at the end of the week wins.
After a lot of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest
would take place on a remote and cold lake in Wisconsin. There were
to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately
on this remote lake and return daily with their catch for counting and
verification.
At the end of the first! day, George W. returns to the starting
line and he has 10 fish.
Soon, Kerry returns and has zero fish. Well, everyone assumes he is just
having another bad hair day or something and hopefully, he will catch up the
next day.
At the end of the 2nd day George W. comes in with 20 fish and Kerry comes in
again with none.
That evening, Bill Clinton gets together secretly with Kerry and says,
"I think George W. is a lowlife 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 if he
is
cheating in any way.
The next night (after George W. comes back with 50 fish),
Clinton says to Kerry, "Well, what about it, is George W. cheatin?'"
"He sure is, Bill, he's cutting holes in the ice
