Wisconsin In The News
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 buckshot, 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.
