Environmentalist

[Whinecountryhounds]

A woman from Los Angeles, who was a tree hugger and an
anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland, near Grants
Pass, OR. 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 nearest doctor.
She told him she was an environmentalist and an anti-hunter
and how she came to get all the splinters. The doctor
listened to her story with great patience and then told her
to go into 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."
