Fencepost tortoise
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".Practice safe eating - always use condiments.

I'm worried how the tortoise is going to get down though
The tortoise is clearly going to do the same thing that it does when its stuck on its back, rock from side to side until its feet are on the ground again. Tortoises are clever you know!
Not sure what Gordon Brown would do if he was stuck on a fencepost though...Ben

Anyone fancy grabbing a leg each and pulling down until the post cannot be inserted any further I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
