b. indeed i am a \butterfly chaser, googly eyed bleeding heart and wild conservative.\
c. lake powell, formed by glen canyon dam, is not a lake. it is a reservoir, with a constantly fluctuating water level - more like a bathtub that is never drained than a true lake.

Explanation:

• Option A: This is a factual statement about the dam's effects, no humor.
• Option B: The use of "butterfly chaser, googly eyed bleeding heart and wild conservative" is a humorous self - description.
• Option C: While it makes a comparison, it is more of a descriptive statement about the reservoir rather than humorous.
• Option D: This is a simple narrative of an event, no humor.

Answer:

B. Indeed I am a "butterfly chaser, googly eyed bleeding heart and wild conservative."
