While suturing the hand of a 75 year old farmer, who’d cut himself while working, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to a well known politician in the area.
The old farmer said, 'Well, you know, that bloke is a 'Post Turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a 'post turtle' was.
The old farmer 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'.
Seeing the puzzled look on the doctor's face he continued. "You know it didn't get up there by itself, it doesn't belong up there, it doesn't know what to do now it's up there, it's elevated beyond its ability to function and you just wonder what kind of person put it up there to begin with.
