Default Funny story

Subject: Bad Day?
Two hunters from Minnesota -- (true story)
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,
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,
(and the new Navigator truck), are standing. 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 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 didn't really think it was true. :tongue:

Did you? Are you that gullible? [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

I just thought it was funny.

Actually, the true story was that they were really U of O pot head graduates.

Yes this story is True, but it happened in Michigan and it was a new pickup truck, it happened in 1986 one man had his leg shattered by the bumper of the rig when it exploded. It happened in spalding township near the refuge, by two farm boys I grew up there and remember it happening my Aunt Kay was the responding officer to the seen. this story has taken so many forms it is rediculas. It was one of those deals that haunts them to this day. They were hunting geese and they found that the birds were going to open water on the refuge so they had the back of the field that was flooded that had froze, so they were opening up a place for the birds the TNT had been leagaly obtained from the DNR to use in that field that day. they were out about 12K in the truck which was paid by statefarm under a farm accedent policy. And the dog was a highly trained retrever and upland mutt named Reble He was half lab and half greman short hair. I had his brother. Oh by the way I went to school with these guys.

Thank you for that.

"And so now you know, the rest of the story..." [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

Liberals are so quick to condemn and dismiss which is so contradictory to their supposed philosophy. :whazzup:

With Liberals, it is all about open-mindedness and freedom of thought and speech.

Unless, that though or freedom does not run parallel with theirs.

LS,

Fear not, it is merely one of those sweeping generalizations common in trolling....
