Once upon a time,long, long, ago there was a Presidential election that was too close to call. Neither the ********** presidential candidate nor the ******** presidential candidate had enough votes to win the election.
Therefore, it was decoded 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 weeklong ice fishing competition seemed the (manly) way to settle things. The candidate that catches the most fish at the end of 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. returned to the starting
line and he had 10 fish. Soon A. **** returned and he had zero fish.
Well, everyone assumed he is just having another bad hair day or
something and hopefully, he would catch some fish the next day.
At the end of the second day, George W. came in with 20 fish and
A. **** again came in with none.
That evening, Bill ******* got together with A. **** and said,
"Al, I think George W. is a low-life cheating son-of-a gun.
I want you to go out tomorrow and don't bother with fishing.
Just spy on him and see if he is cheating in any way."
The next night (after George W. came back with 50 fish), Bill
******* said to Al, "Well, what about it, is George W. cheating?"
"He sure is, Bill, he's cutting holes in the ice."
