An Old Woman From California Purchased A Timber

An elderly woman 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 that attacked

her. In her haste to escape, she slid down the tree to the

ground and got many splinters in her pri***e pa**s. 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 woman demanded, ” What took you so long?” and he

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.”
