Growing up in the Midwest, I can see this happening.
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN? ABSOLUTELY A TRUE STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT.
A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly payments of $560.00).
He and a friend go duck hunting in upper Wisconsin It's mid-winter; and of course all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the ice with their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR.
They decide they want to make a natural looking open water spot for the ducks to focus on, something for the decoys to float in. 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 dog's rear end, he yelps, drops the dynamite under the truck and takes off after his master.
Then " "" "" "" "" 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. And he still had yet to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments.
The dog is okay. . .doing fine.
And you thought Rednecks only live in the Midwest

Did the dog file a lawsuit?
:D

The 1st 42 times I heard that "true" story the dog died... glad he lived this time.

This is hilarious!:rofl
Look out for the Truckane Society, they might sue the "owner".

Same here.
Not nearly as funny as the dog getting blown to smithereens, and having the ASPCA all over him aftarwards.

I think Myth Busters should do a show on whether or not this is plausible. With live dogs.
-
it is an old one... and don't ducks migrate south in the winter?
(if they got stuck in/on a frozen lake you could tee off on em with a golf club)
-
Who duck hunts with 8 shot? Bogus! 6's at the smallest. 4's or 2's do just dandy.

Which part is the funny part?

I strongly suspect that when the water is frozen solid enough to drive a truck onto it there ain't gonna be no ducks within 300 miles.
They DO MIGRATE south from yon northern, frozen climes.

Rednecks, eh? Sounds like a couple of dumb yankee city-boys ta me.
That wouldn't happen to rednecks, cause they know how to use dynamite.
They fish with it alla time.

The part where after you tell the story for the 100th time at a bar and the guy sitting three stools down asks........"Which part is the funny part?"

Yep! A hockey stick would deliver more energy and make for longer shots.
