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."
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.

How did you know that's where I work... 
Mrs C says
15. Send the dead horse on a training course so that it can learn to be a more efficient dead horse.
16. Set up an enquiry to establish the reasons why the dead horse was allowed to remain in it's post after it's demise, and then ignore the results.

But you forgot:
17. Start a comission to write a 10,000 page report (minimim) on if beating a dead horse is effective and if so, what tools should be used. |

While walking through an airport during one of his many trips, President Bush was astonished to see a man with long gray hair, wearing a white robe & sandals, and holding a staff.
President Bush stopped his entourage, went up to the man and said, "Has anyone told you that you look like Moses?"
The man didn't answer. He just kept staring straight ahead.
The President said, "Moses!" in a loud voice. The man just stared ahead, never acknowledging the President.
The President pulled a secret service agent aside and, pointing to the robed man, asked him, "Am I crazy or does that man look like Moses to you?"
The secret service agent looked at the man and agreed.
"Well," said the President, "every time I say his name, he ignores me and stares straight ahead, refusing to speak .... Watch!" Again the President yelled, "Moses!" and again the man didn't even blink.
Then the secret service agent went up to the man in the white robe and whispered, "You look just like Moses. Are you Moses?"
The man leaned over and whispered back, "yes, I am Moses."
"Why do you ignore the President of the United States?" asked the agent.
"...well, sir, the last time I talked to a bush, I spent 40 years wandering in the desert, and ended up leading my people to the only spot in the entire Middle East where there is no oil. |

A chicken and egg are lying in bed together. The egg is smoking a cigarette, looking very smug and full of itself.
Meanwhile the chicken is lying there looking beyond pissed off. After glaring at the egg for quite awhile, the chicken finally mutters "I guess we finally know the answer to that question." |

Women's Arse Size Study
There is a new study just released by the American Psychiatric Association about women and how they feel about their arses.
The results are pretty interesting: 1. 5% of women surveyed feel their arse is too big. 2. 10% of women surveyed feel their arse is too small. 3. The remaining 85% say they don't care; they love him; he's a good man, and they would have married him anyway.

Julius Caesar was addressing the crowd in the Coliseum.
"Friends, Romans and Countrymen, lend me your ears.Tomorrow I take our glorious army to conquer Northern Europe and I shall start with France. We shall kill many Gauls and return victorious".
The crowd are up on their feet "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, hail mighty Caesar"
Brutus turns to his mate and says "He doesn't half talk some shite, eh??!!"
Six months later, Caesar comes back having conquered France and addresses the crowd in the Colliseum. "Friends, Romans and Countrymen, I have returned from our campaign in France and as I promised, we killed 50,000 Gauls".
The crowd are up on their feet "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, hail mighty Caesar".
Brutus says to his mate "What a load of shite, I'm gonna check this out"
So Brutus sets of for France and three weeks later he comes back to Rome. Caesar is addressing the public in the Colliseum again "Friends, Romans and Countrymen, tomorrow we set off for Britain and we are going to sort those bastards out"
The crowd are up on their feet "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, hail mighty Caesar"
Brutus jumps up and shouts "Caesar, you are a liar. You told us that you had killed 50,000 Gauls in France but I've been there to check it out and you only killed 25,000!!!!"
The crowd are stunned and all sit down in silence.
Caesar gets up and looks slowly round the Colliseum then across at Brutus and says...
"Yup, but don't forget away Gauls count double in Europe!!!"

That joke inspired this review.

This cracked me up. Metalheads should find it extra funny... as it's true! 
* THRASH METAL The protagonist arrives, fights the dragon, saves the princess and fucks her.
* HEAVY METAL The protagonist arrives on a Harley, kills the dragon, drinks a few beers and fucks the princess.
* FOLK METAL The protagonist arrives with some friends playing accordions, violins, flutes and many more weird instruments, the dragon falls asleep (because of all the dancing). Then all leave........ without the princess.
* VIKING METAL The protagonist arrives in a ship, kills the dragon with his mighty axe, skins the dragon and eats it, rapes the princess to death, steals her belongings and burns the castle before leaving.
* DEATH METAL The protagonist arrives, kills the dragon, fucks the princess and kills her, then leaves.
* GORE METAL The protagonist arrives, kills the dragon and spreads his guts in front of the castle, fucks the princess and kills her. Then he fucks the dead body again, slashes her belly and eats her guts. Then he fucks the carcass for the third time, burns the corpse and fucks it for the last time.
* DOOM METAL The protagonist arrives, sees the size of the dragon and thinks he could never beat him, then he gets depressed and commits suicide. The dragon eats his body and the princess as dessert. That's the end of the sad story.
* PROGRESSIVE METAL The protagonist arrives with a guitar and plays a solo of 26 minutes. The dragon kills himself out of boredom. The protagonist arrives to the princess' bedroom, plays another solo with all the techniques and tunes he learned in the last year of the conservatory. The princess escapes looking for the 'HEAVY METAL' protagonist.
* GLAM METAL The protagonist arrives, the dragon laughs at the guy's appearance and lets him enter. He steals the princess' make up and tries to paint the castle in a beautiful pink colour.
* NU METAL The protagonist arrives in a run down Honda Civic and attempts to fight the dragon but he burns to death when his moronic baggy clothes catch fire.
*STONER METAL The Protagonist arrives and in a bit of a haze, slays the princess, fucks the dragon and sits down to a chocolate ice cream pizza.
* POWER METAL The protagonist arrives riding a majestic warhorse, slays the dragon with his magic long sword, saves the princess and makes love to her in an enchanted forest.
* BLACK METAL The protagonist IS the dragon, dwells in the heart of the night in a castle full of hellhounds and eternal flames. He kills the sassy knight, fucks the noble steed, spills the blood of the princess as an offering to Satan and feeds her flesh to a succubus.

where's * JAZZ METAL - the protagonist arrives on foot, still a little high from last week, he hands a complimentary drinks voucher to the dragon and riffs cool on the sax with his trio till the dragon starts clicking his fingers in time to the beat. When the princess walks in the dragon passes her a roach and they discover paradise in each other's eyes. Everyone's fucked, man.
*CLASSICAL METAL - the protagonist fucks himself in preparation, steps onto the podium, raises his baton and the blast of brass and strings blows out the dragon's flame. The tone-deaf princess steps up to do her solo and everyone in the audience stones her to death.
