"POST TURTLE"

Subject: Post Turtle

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old
Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while
working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation
with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around
to former Texas Governor George W. Bush and his
elevation to the White House. The old Texan said,
"Well, ya know, Bush is a 'post turtle'." Not being
familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a
'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, "When
you're driving down a country road and you come
across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top,
that's a 'post turtle'." The old man saw a puzzled
look on the doctor's face, so he continued to
explain, "You know, he didn't get there by himself,
he doesn't belong there, he doesn't know what to do
while he's up there, and you just want to help the
dumb shit get down."
