A Funny Tale...

My pal Lisa posted this on her Facebook page... in addition to the trueness of the tale, I just like the phrase Post Turtle! I will be using at as much as possible from here on out!

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a 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 to be a heartbeat away from being President. 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 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 a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. 'You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put her up there to begin with.'

On a side note... when I googled images to find a pic of a "post turtle", I found the story several times with every other candidate tagged in for Palin- I suppose I should tell Lisa that the odds of her friend of a friend being buds with said Old Rancher" are slim...
