The Tree Hugger......

Posted on 05/03/2005 9:18:47 AM PDT by Gopher Broke

The Tree Hugger

A lady from New York State, who was a tree hugger and a dedicated 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 purchase so she started to climb the big tree.

As she neared the top, she encountered a Bald Eagle 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 US. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, NY Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Adirondack Park Agency before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area.

I'm sorry, but they all turned me down

She better hope for a lightning strike since clear cut burning is also on the no-no list! Can't touch the old growth but maybe removing the under bush is allowed!

Wakka, Wakka!

Well, the combat boots and under-arm hair aren't very attractive, either. This chick's done.
