This is being considered for the 1997 Darwin award.  It came from the AP.

 Guy buys brand new Grand Cherokee for 30 some thousand dollars and has
 400+ dollar monthly payments.  He immediately gets ahold of his friend
 and they go do some male bonding.

 They go duck hunting and of course all the lakes are frozen.  These 2
 Atomic Brains 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.  Remember, it's all ice
 and in order to make a hole large enough to look like something a
 wandering duck wants to fly down and land on, it is going to take a
 little more effort than a ice hole drill.Out of the back of the new
 Grand Cherokee comes a stick of dynamite witha short, 40 second fuse.
 Now these 2 Rocket Scientists do take into consideration that if they
 place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where
 they are standing (and the new Grand Cherokee), they take the risk of
 slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly
 going up in smoke with the resulting blast.  So, they decide to light
 this 40 second fuse and throw the dynamite which is what they end up
 doing.  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 gets the stick of
 dynamite with the burning 40 second fuse about the time it hits the
 ice all to the woes of the 2 idiots yelling, stomping, waving arms and
 wondering what the hell to do now.  The dog, well it is happy and
 heads back from where it came from moments before, with the stick of
 dynamite, only to the mounting woes of the 2 bozo's now really waving
 their arms, yelling even louder and jumping to new heights than ever
 before.

 Now one of the guys decides to think, something that he has never done
 before this moment, grabs a shotgun and shoots the dog.  The shotgun
 is loaded with #8 duck shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab on
 its appointed rounds.  Dog stops for a moment, slightly confused and
 continues on.  Another shot and this time the dog, still standing,
 becomes really confused & of course scared, thinking these 2 Nobel
 Prize winners have gone insane and takes off to find cover, with the
 now really short short fuse burning on this stick of dynamite.

 The cover the dogs finds?  Underneath the brand new Grand Cherokee 30
 some thousand dollar 400+ monthly payment vehicle sitting on the lake
 ice.

 BOOM !

 Dog dies and it and the brand new Grand Cherokee 30 some thousand
 dollar 400+ monthly payment vehicle sink to the bottom of the lake
 leaving the 2 candidates for Co-leaders of the Known Universe standing
 there with this "I can't believe this happened" look on their faces.
 Later, the owner of the vehicle calls his insurance company which
 tells him that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use of
 explosives is not covered.  He had yet to make the first of those 400+
 a month payments.

 I felt pretty sorry for the dog myself.  When they made the movie
 Fargo they should have waited a few more months and this could have
 been added into it.
