Splinters
"Splinters in her Crotch"
A woman from Los Angeles who was a tree-hugging, liberal Democrat purchased a piece of timberland near Colville, WA.
There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted 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 woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to a local ER to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist and a Democrat, and how she came to get all the splinters.
The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in 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?"
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' so close
to a waste
treatment
facility.
I'm sorry, but due to Obamacare, they turned you down.”

It does bring up a point. If the tree huggers had to actually practice what they preach they would give up
Plastics of all kinds
Motor fuel
Toilet paper
Hot water
Refrigeration

They would shut up and disappear in a heartbeat.

I call it a "current coolness associating factor which is region specific and borderline hysterically irrational" condition brought on by "insecurity and inadequate recognition for even the smallest insignificant achievement" as described in the psychiatric manual I have yet to publish or even start writing since I have a real life, real responsibilities and a realistic view of how short my time could be on this planet to not get too distracted from my original path.....
