This actually isn't a "joke" - but I did hear this story a few times, and I think it *might* be true. You be the judge.
A hillbilly from Arkansas leases a brand new Tundra and decides to take his buddy and go ice fishing. They pack their stuff, bring their golden retriever, and are on their way.
They get to a frozen lake and set up their equipment. Only problem is, they cannot penetrate the lake as it is too frozen and cannot make a hole to fish from. After a while of attempts, one of the hillbillies comes up with the idea of using dynamite. The other agrees, so he reaches into his truck, grabs it, ignites it, and throws it as far as he can.
Now.. Remember that I said they brought their golden retriever? That's right. The unleashed dog thinks his owner is playing fetch, and with full speed, runs to retrieve the explosive. Immediately, both men start yelling and hollering at the dog to stop, but, of course, the dog doesn't. Within 20 seconds, the dog runs across to pick up the dynamite, and is now on his way back. The men are in extreme panic. The dog's master picks up his bird hunting rifle in a scurry and starts shooting at the dog. The first shot misses the dog, but it stops for a second thinking WTF is he doing? The dog is approaching his master now, and a second shot is fired. The second shot hits the dog in the foot and it gets slightly injured.
At this point, the dog is startled and hurt, so it runs under the truck to hide. As it climbs under the truck, his nose hit the hot tailpipe and, out of sheer pain, screams out and drops the dynamite right under the car.
At this point, both men are running for their lives. The dog decides to run towards its master. A few seconds later, BAM. the dynamite makes a big hole in the lake, sinking the truck to the bottom.
Both men were uninjured with the dog only having minor injuries.
In the end, come to find out.. The lease policy did not include any damages done to the car via illegal explosives. So.. The genius had to pay his remaining 300.00+ a month until it was paid off.
