DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM PRINCE ALBERT?
TRUE STORY HEARD ON A SASKATOON RADIO STATION REPORTING ON
THE INCIDENT.
A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator from Merlin Motors
in Saskatoon for $42,500.00 (with monthly payments of $560.00).
He and a friend go duck hunting at Tobin Lake in mid-October; and
of course the lake is 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 Lab 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 dogs 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 had yet to make the first of
those $560.00 a month payments...
In case you are wondering...The dog is okay...
