The tribal wisdom of the Dacota 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.

Modern organisations often employ a whole range of far more advanced strategies such as:

    * Buying a stronger whip
    * Changing riders
    * Threatening the horse with termination
    * Appointing a committee to study the horse
    * Arranging to visit other countries and it's inhabitants, to see how they ride dead horses
    * Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included
    * Re-classifying the dead horse as "living impaired"
    * Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse
    * Harnassing several dead horses together to increase the speed
    * Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's performance
    * Doing a productivity study te see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance
    * Declaring that as the horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead,
      and therefore contributes substantiately more to the bottom line of the economy than do some
      other (living) horses
    * Re-writing the expected performance requirements for all horses
    * Promoting the dead horse to a management position
    * Changing the name of the horse
