Something to ponder

Someone sent this riddle to me. I think it should hit home with this crowd.


Q: You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is a galloping kangaroo, and your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo.
What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

A: Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round!
