While suturing a laceration on
the hand of a 73 year-old Texas rancher whose
hand had been caught in a gate while working
cattle, a doctor was talking to the old man
about George W. Bush being in the White House.
The old Texan 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 the 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 poor, stupid ba$tard get
down."
