Thread: Trials of a greenie

(Cliff) I am sure this has been on before but worth a revisit.


> A woman from Perth , who was a tree hugger and a social engineer,
> 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
> splendour 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 the nearest doctor. She told him she was an
> environmentalist and avid greenie 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 than told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the
> Environmental Protection Agency, the Forestry Commission and the
> Department of Land Management before I could remove old-growth
> timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry, but they turned me down."
