The Wisdom of the Dakota Indians: When you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.

Within the Criminal Justice System, however, a whole range of far 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. Visiting other sites to see how others ride dead horses.

5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

7. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse’s performance.

8. 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.

9. Re-writing the expected performance requirements for all horses.

10. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Gene, I always encourage the younger deputies to take every opportunity presented. It would be hypocritical if I didn't follow my own advice. Promotion would be nice, for sure, but I don't need it.

And honestly this was meant purely for comedy, not as a complaint or anything. I'm blessed... I ain't complaining about nuttin'.
