"IDIOTS AT PLAY...A TRUE.." joke

IDIOTS AT PLAY... A TRUE REPORT HEARD OVER THE RADIO...

A guy buys a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee for $30, 000 and has $400+
monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting and of course all the
lakes are frozen. These two guys 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. 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. So, 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 take into consideration not to place
the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location where they are standing
(and the new Grand Cherokee), because they don't want to take the risk of
slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up
in smoke with the resulting blast. 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 captures the stick of dynamite with the
burning 40-second fuse about the time it hits the ice. The two men yell,
scream, wave arms and wonder what to do now. The dog, cheered on, keeps
coming. One of the guys grabs a shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is
loaded with #8 duck shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab.

The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, but continues becomes
really confused and of course terrified, thinking these two Nobel Prize
winners have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover, (with the now
really short fuse burning on the stick of dynamite)... under the brand new
Cherokee. ----BOOM!---- Cherokee is blown to bits and sink to the bottom
of the lake in a very large hole, leaving the two idiots standing there
with an "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 AND he STILL has to make those $400+ monthly payments!
