Once upon a time, long, long ago 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.
Therefore, it was decided 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 week-long
ice
fishing competition seemed the fairest way to settle things. The
candidate that catches the most fish at the end of the 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 Maine. There were
to be no
observers present since both men were to be sent out on this
remote lake
and return daily with their catch for counting and verification.
At the end of the first day, George W. Bush returns to the starting
line
and he has 10 fish. Soon, Al Gore returns and has zero fish.
Well, everyone assumes Al is just having another bad hair day or
something and hopefully he will catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day George W. comes in with 20 fish and Al
Gore
comes in again with none.
That evening, Bill Clinton gets together secretly with Al Gore and
says;
"Al, I think George W. is cheatin'. I'm a gonna dress
this good ole' Southern Boy, James Carville, up in a costume and
send him
out on the lake to act as a spy".
The next night (after George W. comes back with 50 fish and Al
Gore with
none), Bill gets Carville and Al Gore together and says to Carville:
"Well, what about it boy, is George W. cheatin'?"
"He sure is, Bill, he's cuttin' holes in the ice!"
