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 (manly) 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 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. returns to the starting line and
he
has 10 fish. Soon, Al Gore returns and has zero fish. Well, everyone
assumes
he 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
and says, "Al, I think George W. 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 if
he is
cheating in any way. The next night (after George W. comes back with 50
fish), Bill Clinton says to Al, "Well, what about it, is George W.
cheatin'?"

"He sure is, Bill, he's cutting holes in the ice."

too funny

FH5,

Reminds me of the fly fisher who was out casting on the lake during the winter. He was very intent on his work, but the lake was frozen over, and he wasn't catching any fish.

A fellow on a snowmobile saw the "angler" and could hardly believe his eyes in regard to this style of ice fishing. So he drove on over to the fly fisherman and asked how the fishing was. The angler reported that he hadn't had a bite. The snowmobile driver said, "If you want, hop on my snowmobile, and we can troll for awhile."
