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 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 " "" "" "" " BOOOOOOOOOOOM " "" "" "" " ! ! !
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 lived in the South.........
