can't validate the truth of it, but is funny...

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN? ABSOLUTELY A TRUE
STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT.
(Newspaper item from Wisconsin...)
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, naturally,
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. 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, 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, apparently terrified, thinking these two geniuses have gone
Insane, 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.

 

That was funny.
