The Tribal Wisdom of the North American Indian

Tribal wisdom, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead
horse, the best strategy is to dismount."

However, in the corporate world and in government agencies
more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.

And of course everyone's favourite...

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
 
PERFECT!!!

"An elephant is a mouse built to government specifications." USED to be my favored analogy... that has now changed! :thumbsup:
 
That would be funny if it weren't so close to the truth!
