Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 The tribal wisdom of the Lakota Indians, 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 government, education and in corporate America, 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. Visiting other countries to see how other cultures ride horses. 5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be more productive. 6. Reclassifying the dead horse as, " living-impaired. " 7. Hiring outside contractors to lift the dead horse and move its legs. 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 expensive 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 my favorite.......... 13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
