"WAV, you have the cart before the horse."

Not again?!!! Good lord, this seems to be happening all the time in our society. People are constantly putting the cart before the horse. I put it down to the overuse of automobiles, the underuse of horses (and carts) these days, and the fact that the horse and cart does not normally come with a simple illutrated instruction manual that even a total idiot can understand.

step 1: place horse directly in front of cart
step 2: fasten harness to horse
step 3: mount cart, facing forward
step 4: grasp reins firmly in left hand and take whip in right hand
step 5: snap whip and yell "Hiyo, Sugarfoot!" (substitute your horse's name here in place of "Sugarfoot")
step 6: hang on! You have now successfully launched your horse and cart. Good luck.
