The Irony of It All

Post by enigma57 »

A woman from Los Angeles who was a tree hugger, a Democrat, and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland, near Colville , Washington.

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, which attacked her.

In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got quite a few splinters in her nethers. 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 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 an explanation, "What took you so long?"

The doctor smiled and explained, "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."

:D Hehehe! Sorry, couldn't resist posting this...... Its the irony of it all......

Sure that timber wasn't reclassified as hazardous waste due to where it ended up?

From what I've known of hard-core tree huggers (and we got 'em here in the Peoples' Republic of Seattle), most of their backsides aren't going to inspire anyone to recreation...
