Duck Hunting

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 nw
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 Labrador 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 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.
