A true story...

[Bruke]

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 auto 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 w ant 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, drops 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.  He still had yet to
make the first of those $560.00 a month payments...The dog is okay...
