A woman from Los Angeles, 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 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 the nearest doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist and an anti-hunter 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 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 the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry, but they turned me down." GOD BLESS AMERICA |

P.S. Why'd it have to be a yankee woman? I'm a yankee woman, but not a tree hugger~

This is the south. We make fun of everyone else. My wife is a yankee woman too. If I had said liberal woman, it wouldn't have been a joke, but a social issue. |

Tami, did I do an OOPS? No one pays me to be diplomatic anymore so I refrain. I'm happier that way. |

LA, part of Yankeedom??? I never thought of it that way either. Yeah...I'm a transplant now...part New Yorker, part Californian. I can relate to the old Neil Diamond song when he says, "....LA's fine but it ain't home, New York's home but it ain't mine no more...". |
