The 2004 election results were so close that the Electoral College vote was
tied, and Congress couldn't break the deadlock. The Supreme Court decided
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 on their honor to let the
guy who caught the most fish in five days become president.
On the first day they went out in different directions. Kerry came back with
ten 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 any,
Bush got worried and telephoned Cheney for advice. He's probably cheating,"
suggested the VP. "I hadn't thought of that," said W. "You're probably
right. What do we do?" Cheney suggested that instead of going fishing the
next day, Bush follow Kerry to see what he was doing.
At the end of day 4, Bush called Cheney and told him, "You were right, Dick,
Kerry is cheating."
"What's he doing?" asked Cheney.
"He's cutting holes in the ice."
