A lady from California purchased a piece of timberland 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 and it 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 consciderable pain, she hurried to the nearest Doctor. He listened to her story then told her to go into the examination 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?" And he replied,
"well, I had to get permits from
the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service amd the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area."
