Never were more truthful words spoken :-D :-D :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

An elderly farmer was in the Emergency Ward having stitches put in his hand,
due to an accident with a piece of machinery.

The doctor carrying out the procedure struck up a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to Politicians and their role as our leaders.
The old farmer said, "Well, you know, most Politicians are 'Post Tortoises'.''

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him, what a 'Post Tortoise' was?
The old farmer said,
"When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post
with a tortoise balanced on top, that's a post tortoise."

The old farmer, seeing the puzzled look on the doctor's face, 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 dumbass put him up there to begin with."

..........Best explanation I've heard yet !!!!!
