While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75-year old farmer, the Doctor struck up a conversation with the old man on the topic of our Politicians and their role as our leaders. The old farmer said, "Well,as I see it, most politicians are 'Post Turtles". Not being familiar with the word so the Doctor asked him what a 'Post Turtle' was. The old farmer 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 farmer 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's elevated beyond his ability to function and you just wonder what kind of fool put him up there to begin with".
