HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM
WISCONSIN?
A 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 upper
Wisconsin.
It's mid-winter;
and of course all of the lakes are
frozen. These two guys go out on the ice with their GUNS,
a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR.
They decide they want to make a natural
looking open water area for the ducks to focus on,
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 dog's 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. And he still had
yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments.
The
dog is okay. . doing fine.
And you thought Rednecks only
lived in the
South........
