DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM PRINCE ALBERT
TRUE STORY HEARD ON A SASKATOON RADIO STATION REPORTING ON
THE INCIDENT.
A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator from Merlin Motors in Saskatoon for
$42,500.00 (with monthly payments of $560.00).
He and a friend go duck hunting at Tobin Lake in mid-October;
and of course the lake is 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 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 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""""""""""KAAAAA...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... In case you are wondering...The dog is okay...after a rather large vet bill.
