BELIEVE IT OR NOT



TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM Michigan:



ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY HEARD ON A Michigan RADIO STATION REPORTING ON THE
INCIDENT.



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 mid-winter; 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 auger 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:

They light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they 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 Labrador used for
RETRIEVING; especially things thrown by the owner.

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, thinks these two geniuses have gone
Insane. The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator.



The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe on the
Truck touches the dog's rear end, he yelps, drops the dynamite under the
Truck and takes off after his master.



Then ''''''''''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 a vehicle in a
Lake by illegal use of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy. He still has
Yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments. The dog is okay...

Priceless!!!

[McFarkus]

I can't believe he shot the dog (glad it's OK). How completely bizarre!

[Coemgen]

Very funny! I'm just happy the dog didn't get killed.

Sorry to butt in.

I've heard this story from a few too many sources.

It's a great tale though.

Cheers,

Kevin.

Alas, too bad.

It is an amusing legend, though. And we are all willing to believe that some people are, in fact, that stupid.

[Highland Logan]

I also have heard this story. With all of the email stories floating around I always make a quick on Google first.

I tend to turn to snopes.com for stories that appear to be too good to be true. This one was there.

We are all quite sure that there are people who are, in fact, that stupid.

Great story whether real or not.

[Panache]

Lots of stuff get sent back and and forth over email. I personally like to check the facts before either replying or passing it on. As mentioned above, Snopes is a great resource for this.

Cheers
