Fishin at its finest???
Don't complain about having a bad
day until you read this.
Two hunters from Minnesota
This is from a radio program, a true report of an
incident in Minnesota:
A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator truck for
$42,500 and has $560 monthly payments.
He and a friend go duck hunting in winter, and of
course all the lakes are frozen.
These two guys go out on the lake with their guns, a
dog, and of course the new vehicle.
They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready. Now,
they want to make some kind of a natural landing area
for the ducks, for the decoys to float on.
In order to make a hole large enough to look like
something a wandering duck would fly down and land
on , it's going to take a little more effort than an ice
hole drill.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator truck comes a
stick of dynamite with a short 40 second fuse.
Now, these two rocket Scientists do take into
consideration that they want to place the stick of
dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they,
(and the new Navigator truck), are standing.
They don't want to take the risk of slipping on the ice
when they run from the burning fuse and
possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast.
They light the 40 second fuse and throw the dynamite.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I
mentioned the vehicle, 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 at a high rate of doggy
speed on the ice and captures the stick of dynamite
with the burning 40 second fuse about the time it hits
the ice.
The two men yell, scream, wave their arms and wonder
what to do now. The dog, cheered on, keeps coming.
One of the guys grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog.
The shotgun is loaded with #8 shot, hardly big enough
to stop a Black Lab.
The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, but
continues on. Another shot and this time the dog,
still standing, becomes really confused and of course
terrified, thinking these two geniuses have gone insane.
The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new
Navigator truck. The men continue to yell as they run.
The exhaust pipe on the truck is still hot, so the dog
yelps and drops the dynamite under the truck, and
takes off after his master.
Then --BOOM-- the truck is blown to bits and sinks to
the bottom of the lake in a very large hole,
leaving the two idiots standing there with this "I can't
believe this happened" look on their faces.
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a
lake by illegal use of explosives is not COVERED.
He still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a
month payments!!!
(If they don't win the Darwin award this year, I can't
imagine who would!)
