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 doctors 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.

I know, I know, I'm Lebanese living in the US but I do follow politics all over the world (kinda have to, to understand the Lebanese politics)
