While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, whose hand was caught in the squeeze gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to politicians and their role as our leaders. The old farmer said, Well, as I see it, most politicians are Post Turtles. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was. The old rancher said, When youre driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, thats a post turtle. The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctors face so he continued to explain. You know he didnt get up there by himself, he doesnt belong up there, he doesnt know what to do while hes up there, hes elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with.
