While sewing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Aussie farmer, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to Julia Gillard and her role as our Prime Minister.
The old farmer said, 'Well, you know, in my opinion, Gillard is a 'Fence Post Turtle''..
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a 'fence 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 'fence post turtle'.
The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.'You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb bugger put her up there to begin with.
