Since my family and I will be moving to Idaho soon, I would like to pass
on an article we read in the SANDPOINT NEWSLINE.

 1. Buy a stronger whip.
 2. Change riders.
 3. Thraten the horse with termination.
 4. Arrange to visit other countries to see how others ride dead horses.

 5. Appoint a committee to study the horse.  (University funding on its
way!)
 6. Lower the standards so theat dead horses can be included.
 7. Re-classify the dead horse as "living impaired."
 8. Hire outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
 9. Harness several dead horses together to increas the speed.
10. Provide additional funding and/or training to increase the dead
horse's performance.
11. Conduct a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve
the dead horse's importance.
12. Declare that as dead horses do 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.
(sounds like washington lobbyists)
13. Re-write the expected performance requirements for all horses.
14. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.
15. Ask for a government grant to study the dead horse.
16. Make a display or memorial for the dead horse.

possible.
