I'm very strong on the environment, so don't EVEN begin with the flames! It's a JOKE you twits! ;))

A lady from Missoula, Montana, who was a tree hugger and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland. There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted to get a good view of the natural splendor 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 crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest country doctor. She told him what an environmentalist and anti-hunter she was, and how she came to get all the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience and 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?" He smiled and then told her, "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 and I'm sorry, but they all turned me down."

A clever, yet lukewarm joke.

Except that you can not get splinters from bark...

For the joke, err - I'd say not bad... ahem...

For the tree-hugging thing, I'd be really curious to know where it actually comes from (though I'm not having much hope, I never got any answer to this type of questions here)...

Know what, I really knew someone who got arrested for being found copulating with a tree. And yes, he definitely had a bat in his beffrey.

Ahh it was alright I was suprised though. I was suspecting something more of along the lines this is what you get for "Hugging" ;) trees.

On a more serious note, why are "envirnonmentalists" and "hunters" so opposed? Ask any hunter he'll probably tell you he's a "conservationist"...

A Democrat was just elected governor of Montana largely based on a "conservationist" message.
