Default Post Tortoise

While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, whose
hand was caught in the squeeze gate while working cattle, the doctor
struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got
around to politicians and their role as our leaders. The old farmer
said, "Well, as I see it, most politicians are 'Post Tortoises'.''

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post
tortoise' was. The old farmer said, "When you're driving down a country
road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top,
that's a post tortoise."

The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he
continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he
doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there,
he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what
kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place."
