THE POST TURTLE….
July 18th, 2005
While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 90-year-old man, the
doctor asked his patient how he thought George W. Bush was doing
as President.
The old man said, “Ya know, Bush is a post turtle.” Not knowing what
the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a “post turtle” was.
He said, “Did you ever drive down a country road and come across a
fence post with a turtle balanced on top? 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. That’s a post turtle.”
