HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN?

  ABSOLUTELY 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 lite 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 o n 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...
