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 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 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."
