Invirementalist

[martymas]

One must do the right thing!

A woman from Los Angeles, who was a tree hugger and an anti-hunter,

purchased a piece of timberland. 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 forest patch

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."
