While stitching up the hand of a 75 year old Devon farmer, who cut it on a gate while working cattle, the rural doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to Gordon Brown and his appointment as Prime Minister.
”Well, you know, drawled the old farmer, this Brown fellow is what we in Devon call a fencepost tortoise.”
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a fencepost tortoise was.
The old farmer said, “When you’re driving along a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's called a fencepost tortoise.”
The old farmer saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain:
“You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he definitely doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just have to wonder what kind of idiot put him up there in the first place.”

You know guys, I've been criticized for trying to make every issue a liberal/conservative confrontation. I only smile knowing that 90% of the discussions raised on this forum start as a conservative(good) vs liberal(bad) rant by one of the forum's resident right-wingers. Sometime a joke is just a joke.

I thought about how many situations that it is applicable to; and that made me smile.
From a political perspective, I thought about Nancy Pelosi. We KNOW how Obama got on the fence-post -- through a democratic election process.

As did George W (at least in 04). Good point but I'm not sure some of our fellow posters put much stock in elections when they don't come out to their liking.
