The 'Post Turtle'

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year-old Texas rancher, the doctor struck up a conversation. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our next President.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama 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 rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb BLEEP would put him up there in the first place.”
