This just cannot be true, but it is funny!!

This is from a radio program, a true report
of an incident that happened in Michigan.

A man buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator
for $42,500 with $560 monthly payments.
He and a friend go duck hunting in winter,
and of course, in Michigan all the lakes are
frozen. These two guys go out on the lake
with their guns, a dog, and 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 is going to take a
little more effort than an ice hole drill. So,
out of the back of the brand new Navigator
comes a stick of dynamite with a short 40
second fuse.
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
are standing, because 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 a DOG?
Let's talk about the dog: a highly trained
black lab used for RETRIEVING!
Especially things that are thrown by the
it's master. 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
hit the ice. The two men yell, scream,
wave their arms and wonder what to do
now. The dog, cheered on, comes
bounding happily toward the men.

One of the guys grabs a shotgun and shoots
the dog. The shotgun is loaded with
birdshot, hardly big enough to stop a full
grown Black Lab. The dog stops for a
moment, slightly confused, but continues
on. Another shot, and this time the dog,
still on his feet, 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 yell as they run.

The exhaust pipe on the Navigator is still
hot, so the dog yelps, drops the dynamite
under the truck, and takes off after his
master. Then ... BOOM ... the Navigator
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 really believe this happened' look on
their faces.
The insurance company says that sinking
a vehicle in a lake during illegal use of
explosives is not covered.

The owner had yet to make the first of
those $560 a month payments!

And Yankees laugh at, make fun of and
say that Rednecks are dumb Southerners,
well who is driving their truck and who
wishes they had a truck !
