FW: two duck huntersFolks,
I don't know whether this story has been around before or not. Sorry if
I had sent it already. It's nevertheless a cute story and a lesson not
to buck the rules.

Have you heard about the two duck hunters from Wisconsin? Supposedly a
true story, but true or false, this story is hilarious.
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 midwinter, and of
course all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys go on a lake with
their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR.
They decide they want to make a natural looking water area for the
ducks, 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 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:
Light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, 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 the owner throws.
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. Thinking the two geniuses have gone
insane, he takes off to find cover. Yes, under the brand new
Navigator.....
The men scream and begin to run as the still-hot exhaust pipe on the
Navigator touches the dog's rear end. Yelping, the dog drops the
dynamite under the truck and takes off after his master.
Then, KA-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 the Navigator in the lake
through the illegal use of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy.
'Genius' has yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments.
The dog might not trust its owner for a while, especially if he has his
gun in his hand, but it is otherwise okay...
These guys will remain in the gene-pool until their genius catches up
with them in the future.
