Reader TJ sent in this joke and illustration, and I thought I’d share:
The Post Turtle
An old Texas Rancher got his hand caught in a gate while working his cattle. He wrapped the hand in a bandana and drove his pickup to the doctor. While stitching him up, the doctor asked what he thought about Barack Obama.
The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a Post Turtle.”
“What’s a Post Turtle?” asked the doctor.
The old man drawled, “Well, sometimes 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.”
He looked up and saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued:
“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 poor dumb thing get down.”
Bravo TJ, that is funny.
“…and you just want to help the poor dumb thing get down.”
No. I don’t. I’d rather shove the fence post up his ass and leave him there. (Hey! I didn’t use “$$” there!)
Ripping his head off and shoving it there first is optional, as I’m sure a notorious IMAO commenter will point out below.
No need to rip & stuff, Jimmy, it’s already in there…
Thank god for you people. I have just been saying the same thing about Obama for a year now. How frightening dumb Americans are. It’s like, they put bush in office – twice- then gripe about it the entire time. Now more than ever in history we need an amazing leader to get out of out all this trouble and we pick somebody with less than two years of political experience who moralizes rather than speaks intellgently. I want somebody to paint a picture of him in his first day in office, depicted as a nervous out-of-college intern, disheveled, in a too-big suit with the copy machine spewing papers out and the water cooler needing replacing, five people asking him where different reports are, and sweat dripping from his brow, saying “where’s hillary?!”
Comparing me to a turtle is racist, you racist crackers! If you have to ask me to tell you why it’s racist, then you are a racist cracker! And it has nothing to do with me throwing out accusations of racism for absolutely no reason!
ROFL
This is an insult to all turtles! Turtles are a proud and noble reptile(?). If it wasn’t for turtles what would hold up the the world?
I read this in an emial a friend sent to me. How very truth full. And if elected president, and he falls off that post, he’ll lie there on his back with his legs kicking in the air.
Applause
I just had to post this on my crappy blog.
Reminds me of Terry Pratchetts’ “Small Gods”; only that book had a happy ending. Still, a turtle on a fencepost? Tempting, but not very sportsmanlike. Bravo!
That picture wins teh internets.
I emailed this to a friend a couple of days ago, and he posted it at an Obama site, where it still is. Do you think they don’t get the insult?
