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 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 h ighly 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.......
