Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand
> was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a
> conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to former
> Texas Governor, George W. Bush and his elevation to the White House.
> The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a 'post turtle'."

> Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what '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 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 dumb shit get down."
