Two Funnies. Sorry French.

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to

generation, says that, "When you realize that you are riding a dead

horse, the best strategy is to immediately dismount."

Funny #1

However, in government, 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. 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/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...........

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

A U. S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included

Admirals from the English, Canadian, Australian, French, and U.S.

Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a

large group of officers that included personnel from most of the

countries.

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a

French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many

languages, Americans learn only English.
