This is cute - so take a load off the loafers and kick back a minute from your busy schedule while you read this political humor from the frozen lands of Minnesota.
The 2008 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 most sportsmanlike way to settle things.
Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the winner. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election. After much more 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 McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish. Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having bad day or something and hopefully he would catch up the next day.
At the end of the second day John McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came back in again with none. That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, "Obama, I think John McCain 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 McCain returned with 50 fish, Harry said to Obama, "Well, tell me, how is John McCain cheating?"
Obama replied, "Harry, you're not going to believe this but he's cutting holes in the ice!"
