Too Close To Call

[Juan]

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 Minnesota .

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, John Mc. 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 John Mc. came in with 20 fish

and Obama came in again with none.

That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama

and said, 'Obama, I think John Mc. 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 John Mc. returns with 50 fish), 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.'


Experience Counts!
