The View

A lady from California purchased a piece of timber  land 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, the lady slid down the tree to  the ground and got many splinters in her private parts.  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 lady demanded, "What took you so long?" The unperturbed doctor 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."
