For you dog lovers!!!


These sound like the frontrunners for the 998 Darwin Awards ! 

Michigan, USA.

Guy buys brand new Grand Cherokee for0 some thousand dollars and 
has 400+ dollar monthly payments.  He immediately gets ahold of his
friend and they go do some male bonding.  They go duck hunting and
of course all the lakes are frozen.

These 2 Atomic Brains go to the lake with the guns, the dog, the
beer 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.  Remember, 
it's all ice and in order to make a hole large enough to look like 
something a wandering duck wants to fly down and land on, it is going 
to take a little more effort than a ice hole drill. 

Out of the back of the new Grand Cherokee comes a stick of dynamite 
with a short, 40 second fuse.

Now these 2 Rocket Scientists do take into consideration that if
they  place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from 
where they are standing (and the new Grand Cherokee), they take the 
risk of slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse 
and possibly going up in smoke with the resulting blast.  So, they 
decide to light this 40 second fuse and throw the dynamite which is 
what they end up doing.

Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the vehicle, 
the beer, the guns AND THE DOG ????

Yes, the dog.  A highly trained Black Lab used for retrieving, 
especially things thrown by the owner.

You guessed it, the dog takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on
the ice and gets the stick of dynamite with the burning 40 second 
fuse about the time it hits the ice all to the woes of the 2 
idiots yelling, stomping, waving arms and wondering what the hell 
to do now. 

The dog, well it is happy and heads back from where it came from
moments before,  with the stick of dynamite, only to the mounting
woes of the 2 bozo's now really waving their arms, yelling even 
louder and jumping to new heights than ever before.

Now one of the guys decides to think, something that he has never
done  before this moment, grabs a shotgun and shoots the dog.  The 
shotgun is loaded with #8 duck shot, hardly big enough to stop a 
Black Lab on its appointed rounds.  Dog stops for a moment, slightly 
confused and continues on.  Another shot and this time the dog, 
still standing, becomes really confused & of course scared, thinking 
these 2 Nobel Prize winners have gone insane and takes off to find 
cover, with the now really short short fuse burning on this stick 
of dynamite.

The cover the dogs finds?  Underneath the brand new Grand Cherokee 
30 some thousand dollar 400+ monthly payment vehicle sitting on the 
lake ice.

BOOM !

Dog dies and it and the brand new Grand Cherokee 30 some thousand 
dollar 400+ monthly payment vehicle sink to the bottom of the lake
leaving the 2 candidates for Co-leaders of the Known Universe
standing there with this "I can't believe this happened" look on 
their faces.

Later, the owner of the vehicle calls his insurance company which 
tells him that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use of
explosives is not covered.  He had yet to make the first of those 
400+ a month payments.
