Rule For Removal
While she was enjoying herself at a lakeside picnic, a young lady was playing around on a bed of pine needles, when an extremely sharp one pierced her swimsuit, and embedded itself in her pubic area.
She was rushed to the hospital, where the emergency doctor told her that he could not extract the pine needle until he checked with the appropriate authorities.
The girl now in considerable pain, cried and asked the doctor why he could not help her.
The doctor apologised and said that it was all a matter of ecology, and that he would have to file an environmental impact statement before he could remove any sort of timber from a recreational area.
