Absolutely true story about 2 duck hunters in Wisconsin.....
A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500 (with monthly payments of $560.00, not including insurance!). He and a friend go duck hunting in upper Wisconsin. It's mid-winter, and of course, all of the lakes are frozen. These 2 guys go out on the ice with their GUNS, a DOG and the new NAVIGATOR. They decide that they want to make a natural looking open water area for the ducks to focus on, and something for the decoys to float on. Making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck is going to take 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. Our 2 rocket scientists, afraid that they may 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 and throw it as far as possible. Sounds like a good plan, right?
Well, let's remember 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 in his mouth, with the 40-second fuse burning, just as it settles on the ice.
The 2 guys start yelling, waiving their arms, and with veins in their necks swelling, scream and hollar at the dog to stop. The DOG, now apparantly cheered on by his master and feeling proud because of his bounty, keeps coming towards the men. One hunter panics, grabs his shotgun and shoots the dog.
The shotgun is loaded with #8 birdshot, hardly enough to stop a Black Lab Retriever. The DOG stumbles, seems slightly confused, then continues on towards the men. Another shot from the hunter, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes confused and obviously terrified. The DOG takes off to find cover, and heads directly under the brand new NAVIGATOR!
The men continue to scream as they run. The redhot exhaust pipe under the NAVIGATOR touches the dog's rear end, he yelps, drops teh stick of dynamite, and takes off after his master who is running away.
BOOOOOMMM!!!!!
The NAVIGATOR is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake, leaving these 2 idiots standing there with "I can't believe what just happened" looks on their faces. The insurance company states that sinking a vehicle in a lake by the illegal use of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy.
By the way, the DOG survived!:hyper:
