Post turtle

While
suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose
hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck
up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around
to Palin and her bid for Republican vice president.

The old
rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a ‘Post Turtle.’

Not
being familiar with the term, the doctor asked the rancher to
explain what a ‘post turtle’ is. 

The
old rancher said, "When you’re driving down a country road you
come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a
‘post turtle’."

The old rancher saw the 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, and she
doesn’t know what to do while she’s up there, and you just wonder
what kind of dummy put her up there to begin with."
