getting horses banned from National Parks & State Forests, was climbing a
big tree to have a look out over the forestry when a Tawny Frogmouth Owl
attacked her for invading its nesting site. In a panic to make her escape,
she slid down the tree, getting many splinters in the crotch of her
designer shorts. In considerable pain she hurried to the nearest Doctor,
told him she was an environmentalist, and how she got all the splinters.
The Doctor listened with great patience and then told her to go into the
examining room and he would see if he could help her. She waited for 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 Forestry Service, National Parks
and Wildlife Service, Rural Fire Service, and Conservation and Land
Management, before I could remove "Old Growth Timber" from a recreational
area.......
I am sorry but they turned me down."
