This was told to me by Larry, my Godmother's Husband. I liked it so much that I've been using it.
Here's the complete description for you. I'm sure you can find some use for it.
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 stupid fool put him up there to begin with."
