You talk about stupid!!!!!!!!
A true report of a happening in Michigan:
A guy buys a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee for $38,000 and has
$600+ monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting and of
course all the lakes are frozen. These two guys go to the lake
with the guns, the dog, the beer 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 is going to take a
little more effort than an ice hole drill.
So, out of the back of the new Grand Cherokee comes a stick of
dynamite with a short, 40-second fuse. Now these two Rocket
Scientists do take into consideration that if they place the stick
of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they are standing
(and the new Grand Cherokee), 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 decide to light this 40-second fuse and throw the dynamite.
(Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the
vehicle, the beer, the guns and the dog?)
Yes, 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 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 duck shot, 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 Nobel Prize
winners have gone insane.
The dog takes off to find cover ... under the brand new Cherokee.
----BOOM!----
Dog and Cherokee 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 had yet to make the
first of those $600+ a month payments!!
And you thought your day was not going well!!!
