Found Poem: Ice Fishing Once upon a time there was a Presidential election that was too close to call. After ballot recounting and court challenges failed to resolve the election, a simple contest was suggested: a weeklong ice fishing competition. After a lot of back and forth, it was decided that the contest would take place on a remote frozen lake in North Dakota. There were to be no observers present at either man's site, and each man was to be sent out separately and return daily with his catch for counting and verification. At the end of the first day, John K. returned to the starting line with ten fish. Soon, George W. returned with no fish. Well, everyone assumes he is just having another bad hair day or something and hopes he will catch up the next day. At the end of the second day John K. comes in with 10 fish again and again George W. comes in with none. That evening, Dick C. gets together secretly with George W. and says, "George, I think John K. 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 John K. comes back with 10 fish again, and, of course, George W. with none. Dick C. says to George W., "Well, what about it, is John K. cheatin'?" "He sure is, Dick, he's cutting holes in the ice!"
