Greenie  Revenge

Australia’s  ‘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.”
