A rich lady from California, who was a tree hugger and a vociferous anti-hunter,
purchased a piece of timber land in Oregon. There
was a large tree on one of the highest points
in the tract. She wanted to get a good view
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 lady slid down the tree to the ground
and got many splinters in her private parts.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the
nearest country doctor. Being a hunter himself,
the doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her
to go into theexamining room and he would see if he
could help her.
She sat and waited for three hours before the
doctor reappeared.
The angry lady 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 and I'm sorry, but they all turned me down.
