Another Candidate for the Darwin Awards
Supposedly from a radio program, a true report of a happening in
Michigan.
A guy in Michigan buys a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee for $30,000 and
has $400+ monthly payments. He and a friend decide to go duck hunting,
but, of course, all the lakes are frozen. These two Atomic Brains go
to the lake with guns, a dog, 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. 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. Out of the back of the new Grand Cherokee comes a stick of
dynamite with a short, 40-second fuse. Now these two Rocket Scientists
do realize that if they place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a
location far from where they (and the new Grand Cherokee) are
standing, they risk slipping on the ice when they run from the burning
fuse and they might possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast.
So, they decide to light the fuse and throw the dynamite.
Remember I mentioned a vehicle, beer, guns and a dog? Yes, the dog: A
highly trained black lab used for retrieving, especially things thrown
by the owner. You guessed it, the dog sprints off across the ice and
captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40-second fuse about
the time it hits the ice.
The two men wonder what to do. They yell, scream, and wave their arms
wildly. The dog, cheered on, keeps coming. One of the guys grabs the
shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with 8 duck shot,
hardly big enough to kill a black lab. The dog stops for a moment,
slightly confused, and then continues on. Another shot and the dog,
still alive, becomes really confused and scared, thinking these two
Nobel Prize winners have gone insane.
He takes off to find cover, (with the now really short fuse burning on
the stick of dynamite)... under the brand new Cherokee. BOOM ! Dog and
Cherokee are blown to bits and sink to the bottom of the lake in a
very large hole, leaving the two candidates for Co-leaders of the
Known Universe standing there with a "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 had yet to make the first of those $400+ a month payments.
