Got this one from my boss. Not sure if true..... funny though.




>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 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.
