Ice Fishing (humor)

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 week-long 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 Wisconsin. 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 lowlife 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!"

Re: I don't get it.

Well,
here is a French Air Force flying icehole.

[irish guard]

I guess you have to be an ice fisherman

[apeman81]

Don’t you get it???
Gore never called Clinton Bill. It was always William.
Sheeesh! Some people.

[navygal]

You must be ice fishing the same way Al Gore is.

[4mycountry]

Oyyyyyyyyyyyy.......-_-''''

The joke is, Al didn't know enough to cut holes in the ice to try to catch fish. He just sat here with his bait on solid ice waiting for a fish to magically appear. Got it now??

"I don't get it."

to ice fish, one cuts holes in ice, and drops in a line. The joke is suggesting that Gore, for all his vaunted erudition, it to out of touch to figure that out...and thinks Bush is cheating by cutting holes in the ice.

Do you know what the first thing a Frenchman does when he goes ice fishing? He sh!%s his pants so he has a warm place to sit.

[navygal]

That would be a good one for a caption this.

Thank you, navygal......I need someone to back me up so bad.....T-T

[apeman81]

Naah! That's not it.

Well, the "flying icehole" might be french, but the aircraft is an A-26 Invader, WWII vintage bomber (often equipped with *8* 50-cal. machine guns in the nose for strafing runs). One of the prettiest aircraft ever built- after the war a number of them were comverted into executive aircraft.

In a similar vein:

This guy goes ice fishing, takes out an auger and starts drilling.
LOUD VOICE FROM ABOVE: There's no fish there.
Guy goes to another spot and drills.
LOUD VOICE FROM ABOVE: There's no fish there, either.
Guy tries a third spot.
LOUD VOICE FROM ABOVE: Nope. Not there either.
Guy, getting a little nervous: Are you God?
LOUD VOICE FROM ABOVE: No. I'm the ice rink manager.

[Frohickey]

hahahaha... I get the "Ice Rink Manager".

I don't get the 'Al Gore cheating'.

[CyberAnt]

Which of course - because it is so funny it indicates a modicum of truth - Gore was tooooooooo dumb to be president!! And ... thank GOD he didn't get elected.

BTW, the French did fly A-26s in the Indo-China War, compliments of the USAF.
Of course, being French, they flew them "backasswards."

Two guys sitting on the ice, lines through holes, haven't had a bite in an hour. A guy goes zooming by on a snowmobile. One fisherman says to the other: "That's what we should be doing."

"What's that?" says the other.

"Trolling."

[Young Werther]

Very, Very, Very, Old Ollie and Lena joke.

But appropriate, nonetheless!
