My New Favorite Joke...

[RazBerryBeret]

Lifted (shamelessly) from a blog response. made me laugh, so I wanted to share....


While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose 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 Palin and her bid.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is 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 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 she didn't get up there by herself, she don't belong up there, and she
don't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of
dummy put her up there to begin with".

7. That ought to be a song -- "Post Turtle Sarah"

I'm thinking maybe something to the tune of "Poke Salad Annie" -- that's the song with the immortal line, "Down in Louisiana here the alligators grow so mean, there lived a girl that I swear to the world made the alligators look tame "

Anybody game to try? There's a YouTube of Tony Joe White singing it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRF24LY5pvw -- or a duet of him and Johnny Cash at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6diOn54OWs&feature=related -- and the lyrics can be found at http://www.geocities.com/merrystar3/allysongs/PolkSaladAnnie.htm.
