Here, There and Everywhere?
One for all our Resident Kiwis

A woman from Auckland, who was a tree hugger, Greens supporter, and an
anti-hunter purchased a piece of bushland near Coromandel.

There was a large Kauri tree on one of the highest points on the block. 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 mynah bird 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 Thames Hospital to see a doctor. She
told him she was an environmentalist, a Greenie, 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
wait in 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 Department
of Conservation, Resource Management Act, County Council, Regional Authority
and Iwi before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area.

I'm sorry, but they turned me down."
