The 2012 Presidential election was too close to call. Neither
Mitt Romney nor Obama had enough votes to win. There was
much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but
a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the 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 he had 10 fish. Soon, Obama returned and
had no fish. Well, 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
came in again with none.
That evening the Democrats got together secretly with Obama
and said, "We think that Mitt Romney is a low-life, cheatin'
son-of-a-gun. Tomorrow don't bother fishing. Just spy on him,
and see just how he is cheating.'
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 are not going to believe this ... that low life
SOB is cutting holes in the ice."
