The chief woman 'Greenie Tree-Hugging Activist', who was responsible
for getting horses banned from National parks and State forests, was
climbing a tree to have a look out over the forest when a Tawny
Frogmouth Owl attacked her for invading its nesting site.
In a panic to escape, she slid down the tree, getting a great number
of splinters lodged in her crotch area. 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 3 hours before the doctor reappeared. Angry, the woman demanded, 'What
took you so long?'
'Well...' replied the doctor, '...I had to get permits from the
Environmental Protection Agency; the Forestry Service; the National
Parks and Wildlife Service; the Wilderness Society and the
Department of Conservation and Land Management before I could remove
'old growth timber' from a 'recreational area' .. . . I'm
sorry but they all turned me down.'
