This one's done the rounds before...
Menaka Gandhi, the head Greenie Tree Hugging Lady Activist from India, was
on vacation in the USA. When in the National Parks & State Forests, she
decided to climb a big tree to have a look out over the forestry. Suddenly a
Tawny Frogmouth Owl attacked her for invading its nesting site.
In a panic to make her escape, she slid down the tree, getting many
splinters in the crotch of her shorts. 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 three
hours before the Doctor reappeared.
Not used to be kept waiting, the angry Menaka demanded: "What took you so
long?"
He smiled and then told her: "Well, I had to get permits from the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Forestry Service, National Parks and
Wildlife service, Rural Fire Service, and Conservation and Land Management,
before I could remove "Old Growth Timber" from a recreational
area.............. I am sorry but they turned me down."
