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
f
$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.
hey decide they want to make a natural looking open water for the ducks
o
focus on, something for the decoys to float in. Now making a hole in the
ice large enough to invite a passing duck, is going to take a little more
ower 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.
And you thought Rednecks only live in the South.........
