FW: Splinters
A woman from Los Angeles, CA
who was a tree hugger, a democrat, and an anti-hunter,
purchased a piece of timberland, near Colville, WA.
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 Mt. Carmel ER
to see a Doctor. She told him she was
an environmentalist, a democrat,
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 wait in 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.”
