> >> 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
> >> out on a lake with their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR.
> >>
> >> They drive the Navigator out onto the frozen lake and get ready to
> >> place the decoys. 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 sentences 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 the 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 birdshot, 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, thinking 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, """"""" BOOOOOOOOOOM """""""!!!! 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.
> >>
> >> And, he still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month
> >> payments.
