dead horse

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed down from generation to
generation, says that when you discover that you are riding a dead horse,
the best strategy is to dismount.

In this day and age, however, a whole range of far more advanced strategies
is often employed, such as:

1. Change riders.

2. Buy a stronger whip.

3. Do nothing: "This is the way we have always ridden dead horses".

4. Visit other countries to see how they ride dead horses.

5. Perform a productivity study to see if lighter riders improve the dead
horse's performance.

6. Hire a contractor to ride the dead horse.

7. Harness several dead horses together in an attempt to increase the
speed.


8. Provide additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's
performance.

9. Appoint a committee to study the horse and assess how dead it actually
is.

10. Re-classify the dead horse as "living-impaired".

11. Develop a Strategic Plan for the management of dead horses.

12. Rewrite the expected performance requirements for all horses.

13. Modify existing standards to include dead horses.

14. Declare that, as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less
costly, carries lower overheads, and therefore contributes substantially
more to the bottom line than many other horses.

15. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Ya know daph....when I read this stuff at work and laugh so hard that I become a human coffee fountain, my co-workers stare.... :clap

Definitely cannot lead a dead horse to water and make it drink.
