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 weeklong 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 Minnesota. 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."
