Had a bad day?

I'm not so sure how true it is but it's funny.


And now for the lighter, yet stupider, side of life...
******************************************************

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, 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 from the
new Navigator truck), and they don't want to take the risk
of slipping on the ice when they run from the lit dynamite
fuse and possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast.
They light the 40-second fuse and throw the dynamite as far
away as they can.

Remember a couple of sentences back when I mentioned the
vehicle, the guns, and the dog?? Let's talk about the dog:
It's a highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING.
Especially well trained at retrieving 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 birdshot, 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 away. 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?

 

I know...when I first read it all I could think about was that dumb ass shooting at the poor puppy! My dog would run for the dynamite, more than likely, but then he'd go into his spread eagle stance and bark and growl at it...until it went KABOOM, of course.
