While suturing a laceration on the hand of an 80-year-old Texas 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's a "post turtle?"
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."
