    Tree huggers tale

    A woman from Austin, who was a tree hugger and anti-hunter, purchased
    several acres of Hill Country land, near Lake Travis, Texas. 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. The ensuing fall
    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
    before
    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
    Service, the Texas Parks and Wildlife and Keep Texas Beautiful before I
    could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry, but they
    turned me down."
