Tree Hugger
Posted: February 23, 2004 3:22 pm
A lady from Missoula, Montana who was a tree hugger and a anti-hunter,
purchased a piece of timberland.
There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She
wanted to get 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 lady slid down the tree to the ground and got
many splinters in her crotch.
>In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest country doctor. She told
him what an environmentalist and anti-hunter she was, 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 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.
