Post Turtle

Viral email blogging here...

A 75 year old Texas rancher caught his hand in a gate while working
cattle. The doctor sewing it up struck up a conversation with him.
Eventually the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to be a
heartbeat away the presidency.

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 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.'

Seeing a puzzled look on the doctor's face, he continued to explain.
'You know she didn't get up there by herself. She doesn't belong up
there. She doesn't know how to get down, and you just wonder what
kind of idiot put her up there to begin with.'
