> Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just

> At the end of the 2nd day John Mc. came in with 20 fish and Obama came in
> again with none.

> That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, 'Obama,
> I think John Mc. 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 John Mc. returns with 50 fish), said to Obama, 'Well,
> tell me, how is John Mc. cheating?'

> Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting
