While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 90 year old man (he got his
hand caught in a gate while working his cattle) a doctor and the old man
were discussing Bush's health care reform ideas.
The old man said "Well, ya know, old Bush is a post turtle".
So, not knowing what he meant the doctor asked him what a "post turtle"
was. And he 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.
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
thing down."
