>> 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 my favorite...........
>>
>> 13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
