FW: [Fwd: Post turtle]

While suturing a laceration on the hand of a
70-year-old Texas rancher whose hand had been 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 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 top of
it, 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."
