Post Turtle

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama being our president.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama 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 the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of idiots put him up there to begin with.






Good stuff from an email I got from a family member.

Nice. Never heard of that before.

That's classic. That definately describes him and the rest of the administration to a T or should I say..."Post".

That's actually really cute and I laughed, even though I like Obama.

But you know... doing that to turtles is borderline animal cruelty. IMO.

Snopes has a good explanation:

Very accurate description from a many point of view. The picture is great i just like how whoever put the post turtle (OBAMA) up there stuck a shim under him. Beautiful turtle.Peace.
