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 no fish.
Soon, Obama returned and he had ten fish.
At the end of the 2nd day John Mc. came in with no fish and Obama came in
with twenty fish.
That evening, Karl Rove got together secretly with McCain and said,
'John, I think Obama 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 day, Obama returns with 50 fish. Rove says to McCain, 'Well, tell me, how is Obama cheating?'
McCain replied, 'Karl, you're not going to believe this, but
he's cutting holes in the ice.'
