A lady from California purchased a piece of timber
> land in Oregon. There was a large tree on one of the
> highest points in the tract. She wanted to get a good
> view 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 lady slid down the tree to
> the ground and got many splinters in her private parts.
> In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor.
>
> He listened to her story 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?"
>
> The unperturbed doctor replied, "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."
