Two hunters from Wisconsin -- (supposedly a true story)
This is from a radio program, a true report of an incident
in Wisconsin
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, something 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 are standing
(and the new Navigator truck), because 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 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, 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 under 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 even the first of those $560.00 a month payments!!!

And you thought you've had bad days...
