The Post Turtle

An excellent joke from my old friend, Lou Bolf:

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher whose hand had been caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to former Texas Governor George W. Bush and his elevation to the White House.

The old Texan said, “Well, ya know, Bush 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 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 doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there and you just want to help the dumb shit get down.”

  1. LOL! Can I use this joke to start my lesson on Wednesday? In fact, in our next lesson we are going to work on one of yours Politically correct bedtime stories. Our students enjoy them very much, especially “Snow Melanin-Impoverished and the Seven Vertically Challenged Persons.”

  2. Yesterday Jackie tried to tell us this joke. It really didn’t work out. Now suddenly everything makes sense. : P
