endangered tree's revenge
Permalink  

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 splinter.

 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.'

Good one Dave and well worth a mention.  How true in a funny way.   Thought it was great.

Sir Dave
If I may, a recreational area is defined as a place that more than one enjoy

In this case it is more likely a reserve and therefore stands a good case for selective clearing
