HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN?
ABSOLUTELY A TRUE STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION
REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT.
A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly
payments of $560.00).
He and a friend go duck hunting in mid-winter; and of course all
of the lakes are frozen. These two guys go on a lake with their GUNS, a
DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR.
They decide they want to make a natural looking water area for the
ducks, something for the decoys to float on. Now making a hole in
the ice large enough to invite a passing duck is going to take a little more
power than the average drill auger can produce.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite
with a short 40 second-fuse. Now our two Rocket Scientists, afraid they
might slip on the ice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse (and
becoming toast, along with the Navigator), decide on the following
course of action: they light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust,
they throw the stick of dynamite as far away as possible.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the
NAVIGATOR, the GUNS, and the DOG...??? Let's talk about the dog:
A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING. Especially things
thrown by the owner. You guessed it: the dog takes off across the ice
at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with the burning
40-second fuse, just as it hits the ice.
The two men swallow, blink, start waving their arms and, with
veins in their necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb, scream and
holler
at the dog to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps
coming. One hunter panics, grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog.
The shotgun is loaded with #8 bird shot, hardly big enough to stop
a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused then continues on.
Another shot, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes
really confused and of course terrified, thinks these two geniuses have gone
insane. The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator.
The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe
on the truck touches the dogs rear end, he yelps, drop the dynamite under
the truck and takes off after his master.
Then """"""""""BOOOOOOOOOOOOM""""""""""!!!! The truck is blown to
bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake, leaving the two idiots standing
there
with "I can't believe this just happened" looks on their faces.
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by
illegal use of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy. And he still had yet
to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments...The dog is okay...
