It's amazing how fast things can go badly wrong.

Katrina <k.d.martin@xxxxxxx> wrote:  Duck Hunters quite amazing. 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 bought 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 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 for the ducks to 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 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 "" "" "" "" "" 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 all the rednecks lived in the south.
