Post Turtle

While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 70-year-old Massachusetts business Tycoon (whose hand had been caught in a fence while working at his country home), a doctor and the old man were talking about Senator John Kerry possibly being in the White House one day. The old Tycoon said, "Well, ya know, Kerry is a 'post turtle'."

Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.

The old man 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 man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain, "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 stupid bastard get down."

You've got to love that New England practicality (an endangered species unto itself).

Like the typical response to lost travelers: "You can't get there from here..."

That is a big old nasty snapper. And the turtle, too.

Better make that Turd(dle) on a fence post. The turds at PETA will be very peed-off. Besides it's "Be nice to turtles year.)
