The Presidential election 2012 was over & too close to call. Neither Mitt Romney nor Obama had had enough votes to win.
There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed a sportsmanlike way to settle things.
The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election. After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest would take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Wisconsin.
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, Mitt Romney returned to the starting line and had 10 fish.
... Soon, Obama returned; he had no fish.
Everyone assumed he was just having a bad day or something, and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day, Mitt came in with 20 fish and Obama with none.
That evening, the Obama got together with the other Democrats secretly and said, "I think that Mitt Romney is a low-life, cheatin' SOB. Tomorrow, I won't go fishin';
I'll just spy on him and see just how he's cheatin."The next night (after Mitt returns with 50 fish), the Democrats got together for the report of how the Republicans were cheating.
Obama said, "You're not gonna believe this! This guy's cuttin' holes in the damned ice!"
