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 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, 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
guy get down."
