True Story: Out hunting

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN?
ABSOLUTELY 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 mid-winter; and
of course all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys drive onto 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. 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 at 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 the nearest 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 """"""""""KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM""""""""""!!!!

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!
