Joke time...
Ice Fishing
After the election, Prime Minister Harper was tired and needed some well deserved R&R . There was much talk about some ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing trip seeemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things and set the stage for a more civil parliament in the future.
The leader that caught the most fish at the end of the week would get their favorite election promise fulfilled without the ususal bickering. Therefore, it was decided that there
should be an ice fishing contest between Prime Minister Harper and loser Dion to determine whose favoritet election promise would be fulfilled.
After much back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Manitoba . 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, Steven Harper returned to the starting line and he had ten fish. Soon, Dion 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 Harper came in with 20 fish and Dion came in again with none.
That evening, Jack Layton got together secretly with Dion and said, 'Dion, I think Steven Harper. 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 Steven Harper. returns with 50 fish), Layton said to Dion, 'Well, tell me, how is Steven Harper cheating?'
Dion replied, 'Jack, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting holes in the ice!'
Why didn't he just resign... or at least allow an interm leader to guide the ship?
