As to exactly what defines a post turtle, that varies a bit from telling to telling:
Well, you know that turtle didnt get up there by himself. Someones got to have put him up there. And if theres one thing you know, its sooner or later that turtles going to fall. (Associated Press, August 2008)
You know he didnt get up there by himself, and he sure as heck doesnt belong up there, he doesnt know what to do up there and you just wonder what kind of an idiot put him up there in the first place. (Monterey County Herald, July 2008)
It sure doesnt belong there, it didnt get there by itself and now that its there it doesnt know what to do.

Ya know he didnt get there by himself, he dont belong there, he cant get anything done while hes up there, and you just want to help take the poor thang down. (Chattanooga Times Free Press, March 2001)
