JOKE

[DaveO]

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 Ser vice, 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."
