Bush &
Kerry Ice Fishing
It seems that the
2004 election was so close that the Electoral College
vote was tied, and that Congress couldn't break the
deadlock, and that the Supreme Court decided they'd
better not make the decision themselves. So they sent
Bush and Kerry to a frozen lake in northern Wisconsin to
have an ice fishing contest. No one was allowed to
accompany them, and they were on their honor to let the
guy who caught the most fish in five days become
president.
On the first day they went out in different directions.
Kerry came back with ten fish. Bush caught none.
On the second day, Kerry caught twenty fish and again
Bush came back empty handed.
When Kerry brought back 25 fish on day three and Bush
still hadn't caught any, Bush got worried and telephoned
Cheney for advice.
"He's probably cheating," suggested the VP.
"I hadn't thought of that," said Bush "You're
probably right. What do we do?"
Cheney suggested that, instead of going fishing the next
day, Bush follow Kerry to see what he was doing. At the
end of day 4, Bush called Cheney up and told him, "You
were right, Dick, the bastard is cheating."
"What's he doing?" asked Cheney.
"He's cutting holes in the ice!"
