The folks who told me this story swear it's true, I remain skeptical.<br />It seems this fellow loaded up his brand new truck with his buddies, gear, family dog and plenty of beer to go ice fishing.<br />They drive out onto the ice set up and commence drinking heavily.<br />One guy pulls out a stick of dynamite and they all agree it would be fun to throw it out onto the lake. "What the heck, it has an extra long fuse and we will just walk out away from the truck and hurry back once we throw it."<br />The guy with the strongest arm lights it, flings it waaay out onto the ice and they start to hurry back to safety when the family dog runs out to fetch the stick.<br />Well, even drunk, they realize they don't want the dog to bring the stick back so they begin shooting at the poor thing.<br />Too drunk to hit him, they manage to spook him and he runs , still carrying the stick, to the truck and hides underneath it.<br />Well, the truck explodes and sinks under the ice.<br /><br />Wonder what he tells his wife when he finally makes it home. "Honey, I lost the truck and the dog, better call the insurance company."<br /><br />You guys up north ever heard this story?<br />I think it has to be a myth.
