Don't blame me, blame Tom

Mimi has Doug to supply her with humor (and poor Doug does get blamed a lot, almost as much as I blame Eileen for leading me astray). I got this e-mail from my friend Tom in California this evening.


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.

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

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.



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".

Oh, this is funny. I think I'll put it on my LJ journal. I know I'm going to send it to my cousin, the only other Democrat in my extended family. OK, Paul?

It's not mine, Susan S. Feel free to pass it on.
