HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM

WISCONSIN ?

ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN

RADIO STATION REPORTING 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 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 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...

Dude, this is a true story???? Because, right now I nearly broke a hip as I fell off the chair laughing so hard. Thankfully, the dog is ok, because for a minute there it didn't sound like it was going to turn out to good. Too bad the two idiots didn't go down with the "ship". Could you imagine shooting your own dog because he was about to blow himself to bits?

[Jamie@Clydes]

Some folks just shouldnt hunt with dogs ! ( Or dynamite for that matter )

[diarmadhim]

This is not a true story. The first time I heard it, it was a Jeep Cherokee not a Navigator.
Funny as hell to picture it, but it isn't something that happened.

Thanks for the bump, bot.


I missed this, I guess. What a good one! I'll be passing this one along at some point.

Funny story, but it is not true.

You can always check stories on snopes.com as so much of what you hear on the Internet is made-up.
