TRUE...




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 and his election to president.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama 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 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,
and 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'.

  1. Yea Patrick! Growing up in South America (Louisiana to be specific), I'll bet I heard a hundred times, "Boy, if you find a turtle on a fence post, there's a good chance he didn't get there on his own."

    It was a way of explaining how odd things happen. The Obama election is just about as good an example of that as I can figure out right now.
