They drive out onto the ice. Now, they want to make some kind of a natural landing area to attract ducksăsomething the decoys will float on. ![]() Remember, it's all ice, and in order to make a hole large enough to interest a flock of ducks and a hold big enough to entice ducks to land, they needed to use a little more than an ice hole drill. Soooooo, out of the back of the brand-new Jeep Grand Cherokee comes a stick of dynamite with a short 40-second fuse. Now, to their credit, these two rocket scientists DID take into consideration that if they placed the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they (and the new Grand Cherokee) would be waiting and ran back quickly, they would risk slipping on the ice as they ran from the imminent explosion and could possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast. After a little deliberation, they come up with lighting and THROWING 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. The driver's pet 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, reaching the stick of dynamite with the burning 40-second fuse about the time it hits the ice - all to the woe of the two idiots who are now yelling, stomping, waving arms, and wondering what the heck to do now. |
The dog is happy and now heads back toward the "hunters" with the stick of dynamite. I think we all can picture the ever increasing concern on the part of the Brain Trust, as the loyal Labrador Retriever approaches. The Bozos now are REALLY waving their arms ‚ yelling even louder and generally feeling kinda panicked. ![]() Finally, one of the guys decides to thinkăsomething that neither had done before this momentăgrabs a shotgun and shoots the dog. This sounds better than it really is, because the shotgun was loaded with #8 duckshot and hardly effective enough to stop a black Lab. ![]() The dog DID stop for a moment, slightly confused, but then continued on. Another shot, and this time the dog ‚ still standing, became REALLY confused and, of course, scared.
Thinking that these two Nobel Prize Winners have gone TOTALLY INSANE, the pooch takes off to find cover with a now extremely short fuse still burning on the stick of dynamite. The cover the dog finds? Underneath the brand new Grand Cherokee worth 30-some thousand dollars and the $400+ monthly payment that is sitting on the lake ice. BOOM!!ăDog dies, vehicle sinks to bottom of |
