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 how President Bush seems to
be a mouthpiece for Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowicz and Rice.
The old Tycoon said, "Well, ya know, Bush 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 bastard
get down."
