True story???

Question

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN?

ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN 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 lite 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 ...

The dog is okay ...

AND THEY MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH?

Answer 2

Nope, urban myth.
Written by someone who obviously knows nothing about duck hunting, and little about explosives. One doesn't hang around lakes that are FROZEN. The ducks/geese will have already moved on.
Secondly, blasting a hole? The detonation will scare off any birds, or other animals, for miles around. Where did the dynamite come from? People licensed for explosives don't carry them around (for the legality issues hinted in the story); secondly one would use a remote detonator. You ain't gonna throw one, like a hand grenade.
Finally, the insurance company would have a heckuva time proving "Act of God" here. Unless the policy had a "due diligence" cause-it would be a comprehensive policy and most likely would have to pay out something.

Answer 3

Lincoln Navigator?
Give me a break. People that buy these things don't like being in the cold.

Not to mention having a dog shedding all over the inside of it.

Now, if you'd have said a Chevy Blazer, maybe.......

Answer 4

ok, i will't have faith i visit tell one on myself yet right here it is going. some years returned, a chum of mine and that i've got been job looking together. We went to a city Human ingredients development to word for some jobs there. The H R development became a suitable sq. development that had double front/go out doorways on all 4 exterior partitions. We walked as much as one set of double doorways and there became a hand written be conscious with an arrow pointing to the left asserting "Please use different door." So we walked to the subsequent edge of the development to the subsequent set of double doorways and there became that very comparable be conscious. So returned, we walked to the third edge of the development to discover yet another be conscious. We walked to the final edge of the development and coffee and behold became the very comparable be conscious. All 4 notes stated Please use different door with an arrow pointing to the left. ultimately somebody that worked on the place of work got here strolling as much as flow into the development. My pal asked the guy how we've been meant to get into the development. He opened the left edge of the double doorways and stated in simple terms like that. We then found out the notes have been in simple terms asserting the main appropriate door became locked to apply the left door.
