I just got this joke e-mail from him entitled "Its Tuff Being a Liberal." I've copied it below the fold for you to see, and added a poll for my own amusement. It really isn't that good. I could laugh if it was actually a funny joke, but this only got a smirk, a) because my dad knows my positions, and b) because of my name here at DKos.
Anyone got any good responses I can send back at him?
Here's the joke:
A woman from Los Angeles, who was a liberal Democrat, a tree hugger, an anti-hunter, and anti-gun owner, purchased a tract 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 a liberal Democrat, a tree hugger, an anti-hunter, and an anti-gun owner. Next she told him 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 in the examining room 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 Agency, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from your recreational area...... I'm sorry, but they turned me down."
