A friend of mine once invented a great way to save money on horse feed
-- the sawdust diet. The first week, you mix 10% sawdust in the feed.
The second week, 20% sawdust, the third week 30% sawdust and so on.

Unfortunately, he was never able to document his results. Every time,
before he could reach 100% sawdust the horse died.
