The Ugly Thief
01 Nov 2004, 05:20 PM
It seems that the 2004 election was so close that the Electoral College vote was tied and Congress couldn't break the deadlock. The Supreme Court decided that they'd better not make the decision themselves so they sent Bush and Kerry to a frozen lake in northern Minnesota to have an ice fishing contest. No one was allowed to accompany them and they were honor bound to let the guy who caught the most fish in 5 days to assume the presidency.
On the first day they both went in different directions. Kerry came back with 10 fish. Bush caught none.
On the second day, Kerry caught twenty fish and again W came back empty handed.
When Kerry brought back 25 fish on day three and W still hadn't caught anything, Bush called 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, W should follow Kerry to see what he was doing. At the end of day 4, Bush called Cheney to make his report. "You were right, Dick, the bastard is cheating."
"What's he doing?" asked Cheney.
"He's cutting holes in the ice"
