New Hampshire: The Real Facts

Now this is just New Hampshire funny.

The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither
the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate 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.

Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice
fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the
winner.

After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided
that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in
northern New Hampshire .

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, John
McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.

Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone
assumed he was just having another 'bad hair' day or
something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.

At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 20 fish
and Obama came in again with none.

That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly
with Obama and said,"Obama, I think John McCain 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 just how he is cheating."

The next night (after John McCain returns with 50 fish),
Harry said to Obama, "Well, tell me, how is John Mc.
cheating?"

Obama replied, "Harry, you're not going to believe
this, but he's cutting holes in the ice!"
