In order to make a hole
large enough to look like something a wandering duck would fly down
and land on, it's going to take a little more effort than an ice
hole drill. So, out of the back of the nw Navigator truck comes
a stick of dynamite with a short, 40-second fuse.
Now, 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 are standing (and from the new Navigator truck),
and they don't want to take the risk of slipping on the ice when
they run from the lit dynamite fuse and possibly go up in smoke
with the resulting blast. They light the 40-second fuse and throw
the dynamite as far away as they can.
Remember a couple of sentences back when I mentioned
the vehicle, the guns, and the dog??
Let's talk about the dog: it's a highly trained Labrador
used for RETRIEVING. Especially well trained at retrieving things
thrown by the owner. 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 hits the ice.
The two men yell, scream, wave their arms and wonder what to do
now. The dog, cheered on, keeps coming.
One of the guys grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog.
The shotgun is loaded with #8 birdshot, hardly big enough to stop
a Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, but 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 truck..
The men continue to yell as they run away. The exhaust
pipe on the truck is still hot, so the dog yelps and drops the dynamite
under the truck, and takes off after his master.
Then --BOOM-- the truck 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 believe this happened"
look on their faces.
The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle
in a lake by illegal use of explosives is NOT COVERED. He still
had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments!!!
And you thought your day was not going well.
