The Post Turtle

YOU’VE GOT TO LOVE THIS RANCHER’S OUTLOOK & COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO LIFE . . . . . .

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher whose hand had been caught in a gate while working his cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and his being our president.

The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is just a Post Turtle.”

Now not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, “What’s a ‘Post Turtle?’"

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 rancher 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 sure as heck ain’t goin’ anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place.”

Stop forwarding all these chain emails to me, grandpa!

Stop forwarding all these chain emails to me, grandpa!

Funny! I received the one below from my grandfather just this morning. It was a rather weak effort. I love how old folks and sad housewives keep all the email addresses in the chain, so you have to scroll through about 10 pages of junk to get to the other junk. Don’t forget to pass this on to 10 folks you know!

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to
“make a difference” in the world. It is at these times that
Our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of
Other “seniors” who have found the courage to take on
Challenges that would make many of us wither.

Harold Schlumberg is such a person!

QUOTE FROM HAROLD:

"I’ve often been asked, 'What do you old folks do now that***You’re retired?’ ***

Well, I’m fortunate to have a chemicalEngineering background, and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and vodka into urine.

Then I piss on a photo of Obama!

I do it every day and I really enjoy it."

Harold is an inspiration to us all.

Subj: Circle Flies


A cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Barack Obama is trying to gather support for his Health Plan. Once Obama discovers the cowboy is from President Bush’s home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl, speaking in single syllable words.

As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The cowboy says, “Y’all havin’ a problem with them circle flies?”

Obama stopped his drawl, and said, “Well, yes, if that’s what they’re called, but I’ve never heard of circle flies.”

“Well, sir,” the cowboy replies, “Circle flies hang around ranches. They’re called circle flies, because they’re almost always found circlin’ around the back end of a horse.”

“Oh,” Obama replies, as he goes back to rambling.

But, a moment later, he stops and bluntly asks, “Are you calling me a horse’s ass?”

“No, sir,” the cowboy replies, “I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their president a horse’s ass.”

“Well, that’s good,” Obama responds.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best? Texas drawl, says,

"Hard to fool** them **flies though.
