The 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"
