Minnesota Election Story
This is cute. Got it from a friend of my parents in Minnesota.
The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican nor 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 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 Minnesota . 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 tea m of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, John McCain returned with 5 fish. Soon, Obama returned with no fish. Everyone assumed he was just having another bad day and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 8 fish and Obama came again with none. That evening, Harry Reid got together with Obama and said, ‘Barak, I think John McCain is a low-life, cheater, want you to go out tomorrow and don’t even bother with fishing. Spy on him and see just how he is cheating.’
The next night (after John McCain return with 12 fish),Reid said to Obama, ‘Ttell me, how is McCain cheating?’
Obama replied, ‘Harry, you’re not going to believe this, but he’s cutting holes in the ice.
DOES THAT SAY SOMETHING ABOUT EXPERIENCE ?
