Thought everyone would get a kick out of this one...just remember this one
when you have a bright idea next time. Funny how the dog ends up being the
smart one. Proof that you should think before you talk...

Two hunters from Michigan--(true story)
This is from a radio program, a true report of an incident in
Michigan: A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator 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 the guns, the dog,
and of course the new vehicle. They drive out onto the lake
ice, unload the guns, decoys, dog, etc., and get ready. Now,
they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for
the ducks and something for their 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 is going to
take a little more effort than an ice hole drill.
So, out of the back of the new Navigator 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),
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 by all the shouting & waving, keeps
coming. One of the guys grabs the shotgun and shoots the
dog. The shotgun is loaded with # 8 birdshot, great for
ducks, but 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 the nearest cover, which happens
to be under the brand new Navigator.
----BOOM!---- Dog and Navigator are blown to bits and sink 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 a month payments!
And you thought you had bad days.
