A woman from Los Angeles, CA who was a
tree hugger, a Democrat, and an anti-hunter,
purchased a piece of timberland near
Colville, WA . There was a large tree on one
of the highest points in the tract. She wanted
a good view of the natural splendor 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 woman slid down the tree to the
ground and got many splinters in her crotch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to Mt. Carmel
ER to see a doctor. She told him she was an
environmentalist, a democrat, and an anti-hunter
and how she came to get all the splinters. The
doctor listened to her story with great patience
and then told her to go wait in the examining
room and he would see if he could help her.
She sat and waited 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 Forest
Service, and the Bureau of Land Management
before I could remove old-growth timber from
a recreational area. I'm sorry, but due to Obama
Care, they turned me down."
