While suturing the hand of a grizzled 80-year old Texas rancher (whose hand
had gotten caught in a gate while working cattle), the doctor and the old
man were talking about John Kerry's possibility of being in the White
House.
The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Kerry's one of them 'post
turtles'." Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a
post turtle was. 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 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 can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to
help the poor dumb bastard get down 'afore he hurts himself."
