Just got this from a Republican friend

[prodigal_green]

who is voting for Kerry this year:

While suturing a laceration on the hand of an 80-year-old Texan rancher, the 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 the puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued :


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 dumb bastard get down."

Post turtle - that's great! The only way that W doesn't resemble the post turtle, though, is that he could get down by himself if he wanted - by resigning.
