Once upon a time, 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.
After much talk about ballot recounting & court challenges, a week-long ice
fishing competition between the two candidates seemed the best way to settle
things. The winner would be the candidate who caught the most fish at the end of
the week.
After a lot of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest would
take place on a cold, remote lake in Maine. 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, Kerry returns to the starting line with 10 fish. Soon, Bush returns
and has zero fish. Well, everyone assumes he is just having a bad hair day or
something and, hopefully, he will catch up the next day.
At the end of the second day, Kerry comes in with 20 fish and Bush comes in again
with none. That evening, Bush's campaign manager gets together secretly with Bush
and says, “I think Kerry is a lowlife cheating 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 Kerry comes back with 50 fish), the campaign manager says
to Bush, “Well, what about it, is Kerry cheating'?”
“He sure is,” Bush replied. “He's cutting holes in the ice.”
