There was a woman , who was a tree hugger and
anti-hunter, who purchased several acres of Hill Country land, near Lake
Cresant. There was a huge tree on one of the highest points in the
tract. She wanted to view the natural splendor of her land, so she
climbed the tree. As she neared the top, she encountered a spotted owl. It
attacked her! In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to
the ground. During the ensuing fall, she incurred several splinters of
wood in her crotch.

In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor, 35 minutes
away. She told him she was an environmentalist and anti-hunter and how she
came to receive all of the splinters. The doctor listened to her story
with great patience. He then told her to go into the examining room
and he would see if he could help.

The impatient patient sat, and waited for three hours bef ore the doctor
reappeared. The angry woman demanded, 'What took you so
long?'
'He smiled and said, 'Well, I had to get permits from
US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Forest Service, the Washington
Parks and Wildlife Department and the Keep Washington Beautiful office
before
I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry,
but they turned me down'
