While sewing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, 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 David Cameron and his role as our head of the
conservative party. The old farmer said, ‘Well, you know, in my opinion, Cameron
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”. 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, and you just wonder what kind of dumb bugger
put him up there to begin with.”
