This is from a radio program, a true report of an
incident in Minnesota:
A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator truck for
$42,500 and has $560 monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting
in winter, and of course all the lakes are frozen.
These two guys go out on the lake with
their guns, a dog, and of course the new vehicle.
They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready.
Now, they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks, for
the decoys to float on. In order to make a hole large enough to look
like something a wandering duck would fly down and land on, it's going
to take a little more effort than an ice hole drill.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator truck comes a
stick of dynamite with a short 40 second fuse. Now, these two
Rocket Scientists do take into consideration that they want to place the
stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they, (and the
new Navigator truck), are standing. They don't want to take the risk of
slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up
in smoke with the resulting blast.
They light the 40 second fuse and throw the dynamite.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the
vehicle, 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 at a high rate of doggy speed on the ice
and captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40 second fuse
about the time it hits the ice.
The two men yell, scream, wave their arms and wonder
what to do now. The dog, cheered on, keeps coming. One of the guys
grab the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with #8
buckshot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for a moment,
slightly confused, but continues on.
Another shot and this time the dog, still standing,
becomes really confused and of course terrified, thinking these two geniuses have
gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new
Navigator truck.
The men continue to yell as they run. The exhaust pipe
on the truck is still hot, so the dog yelps and drops the dynamite
under the truck, and takes off after his master.
Then --BOOM-- the truck is blown to bits and sinks to
the bottom of the lake in a very large hole, leaving the two idiots
standing there with this "I can't believe this happened" look on their
faces.
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a
lake by illegal use of explosives is not COVERED. He still had yet to
make the first of those $560.00 a month payments!!!
And you thought your day was not going well ---

That story has been around a LONG TIME!!...Still funny though. First time I saw it , it was nominating the guys for a Darwin Award. You can also find that story on websites that track urban legends.

Here is a sure fire test to tell if something is fake or not:
1. Did you get it in an email?
If your answer to question 1 is Yes, it is fake.
