While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 70-year-old Texas
rancher
(whose hand had caught in a gate while working cattle), a doctor and
the
old man were talking about George W. Bush being in the White House. The
oldTexan said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a 'post turtle'."
Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a
post
turtle was. The old man 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 can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just
want
to
help the poor stupid bastard get down."
