This guy buys a brand new Grand Cherokee for 30 somethin' thousand
dollars and has 400+ dollar monthly payments. He immediately contacts his friend and they
go do some male bonding. They go duck hunting ...on a frozen lake.
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.
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 and 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 somethin' 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.
