While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher whose 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 Sarah Palin and her bid for the vice presidency.
The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Palin’s 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:
“You know she didn’t get up there by herself, she doesn’t belong up there, she can’t get down, she doesn’t know what to do while she’s up there, and you just wonder what idiot put her up there to begin with.”
