Default OT - Fishing Contest ;-)

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!
