This all reminds me of a joke...
These two (ethnic choice is yours) are dragging out a buck by pulling on the legs. The horns are catching on every bit of underbrush and they're having a heck of a time. They come upon another hunter and he says "guys, you're doing that all wrong. Grab it by the horns and it will just slide along easily over everything" and so the two tried it. One of them says "geez, that guy was right, this works a whole lot better" and the other one says "yeah, I know, but aren't we getting farther away from the car?"
Oh well.
