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!
