A woman from Los Angeles, CA who was a tree hugger and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland near the State of Ky.
There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted
a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started to climb the
big tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked
her.
In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got
many splinters in her crotch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the Emergency Room to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters.
The doctor, an avid outdoorsman, listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her.
She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared.
The angry woman demanded, "What took you so long?" He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land
Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry, but they turned me down."
