| |  The Tree Hugger
A bit of background... 
The area I live in often sees controversies over various types of environmental issues. For the most part, I am definitely on the environmentalists' side, but, unfortunately there are some who tend to be a bit sanctimonious and self-rightious; I have little use for zealots with tunnel vision, regardless of their stripes. 
Thus, I found this very amusing... 
A woman from Vancouver, who was a tree hugger and anti-hunter, purchased acres of timberland, near Lake Cowichan, Vancouver Island. There was a huge tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted to view the natural splendor of her land, so she climbed the tree. As she neared the top, she encountered a spotted owl . It attacked her! In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground. The ensuing fall incurred several splinters of wood...in her crotch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor, 35 minutes away in Duncan. She told him she was an environmentalist and how she came to receive all of the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience. He then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help. The impatient patient sat, and sat, and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared.
The angry woman demanded, "What took you so long?"
He smiled and said , "Well, I had to get permits from Environment Canada, the BC Forest Service and Worksafe BC before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry, but they turned me down."

| | Probably those who are at the same situation as I'm right now:
It's 3 a.m, not feeling sleepy, and state of mind is rather twisted
But seriously, I've heard that joke couple of times, and every time it makes me lough a lot.

| | | I do find this funny, not to mention that the end result both encourages abstinence as well as lowers the chance of this particular tree hugger procreating. I may incorporate this practice into my Presidential campaign.
