While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was
caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation
with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama being our
president.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is just 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 the 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's up there and you just wonder what
kind of dumb-ass put him up there to begin with."
