[Anyone] a post turtle

[totem at laplaza.org]

> 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 Sarah
> Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President.
>  
> The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Palin 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 a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to
> explain. 'You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up
> there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just
> wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.'
