| Two hunters from Michigan--(true story) This
is from a radio program, a true report of an incident in Michigan:
A guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500 and has
$560 monthly payments. He and a friend go duck hunting in winter,
and of course all the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on
the lake with the guns, the dog, 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 Navigator comes a stick of
dynamite with a short, 40-second fuse.
Now these two Rocket Scientists do take into consideration that
they want to place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location
far from where they are standing (and the new Navigator), 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. So, they light the 40-second fuse and throw the
dynamite.
Now, remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the
vehicle, the guns and the dog? OK. 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 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 their arms and wonder what to
do now. The dog, cheered on, keeps coming. One of the guys grabs
the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is loaded with # 8
buckshot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog stops for
a moment, slightly confused, but continues on. Another shot and
this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused, and of
course terrified, thinking these two geniuses have gone insane. The
dog takes off to find cover, under the brand new Navigator.
---BOOM!---- Dog and Navigator are blown to bits and sink to
the bottom of the lake in a very large hole, leaving the two idiots
standing there with this "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 still had yet to make
the first of those $560 a month payments! And you thought your day
was not going well? |

Cough CPR A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail
sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one
life. Read this... It could save your life!!
Let's say it's 6.15 pm and you're driving home (alone of
course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really
tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe
pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up
into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital
nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able
to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that
taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on
yourself.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack,
without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who
begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing
consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by
coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be
taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged,
as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a
cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until
help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally
again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing
movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The
squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm.
In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as
many other people as possible about this. It could save their
lives!!
