An amusing email joke I thought I would share with you all . . .
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 they
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.”
