Dead horse strategies

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota 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."

Updated for the 21st century this could mean:

• Appointing a top advertising agency to promote the benefits of the reduced carbon hoofprint of a dead horse compared to the ridiculously out-dated and unsustainable notion of a living horse.
• Off-shoring the stabling and veterinary support of the dead horse to somewhere in the Indian sub-continent.
• Sending the dead horse on an outward bound weekend with other dead horses.
