Wood chuck dialogue

Louis "Hi Craig"

Craig "Hi Louis"

Louis "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Craig "He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood"

Louis "I just checked and in 1988, a New York fish and wildlife technician named Richard Thomas calculated the volume of dirt in a typical 25–30-foot long woodchuck burrow and determined that if the woodchuck had moved an equivalent volume of wood, it could move "about 700 pounds (320 kg) on a good day, with the wind at his back"."

Craig "That's all well and good however I suspect nobody cares".

Louis "You raise a good point, au revoir!"

Craig "Au revoir!"
