How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could hire someone else to do it?
You see, the woodchuck can’t chuck wood. Thus the whole tongue-twisting dilemma. If only he could chuck wood, he would be able to quantify his average output of woodchucking. But alas, he is left to wonder, left to dream. But say his dream was fulfilled and someone else could chuck the wood for him, he would be vicariously successful in his lifelong ambition. Then he could finally rest, relax, put up his little paws and smile. He would be priveleged and spoiled as only a man can who has fulfilled his life’s ambition. The only alternative to hiring someone to do it for him would be to “pine” (pun intended) for the day when he just maybe could chuck wood. And he would exist in a depressed and unfulfilled state for the rest of his days on this earth. Go, little Woodchuck. You find that someone who can chuck wood for you. You make those dreams come true!
