| How do you clean an Augean Stable? |
|
A big shovel and you scoop up ALL the shit and straw and throw it ALL out. Throw it ALL out. Start over with fresh straw.
You do not SAVE any straw that might be good, just because it does not have any shit on it.
You throw it all out.
Fresh Straw.
The problem with all these f'ing Augean Stable analogies is that the current shit covered straw pieces are trying to figure out a way to pick out the good pieces of Straw that are left in the stable and shake off enough of the shit covering themselves to get a PASS and stay in the stable.
This is just the opinion of someone who actually has cleaned stables.
Peace.

| 2. Didn't Hercules divert a river or something . . . |

. . . through the stables to clean 'em out?
I'm not sure if that's protoBiblical (preantediluvian, even) or simply bad environmental policy à la the Corps of Engineers.
