They usually choose not to, but they are perfectly able to do so.
so then the question is, how much wood could they chuck?
no isnt it something like “If a wood chuck would chuck wood, how much wood would a wood chuck chuck?” ?
BTW Rebyidd – are most of your threads just stum random or do I just completely miss the point? (The latter is far more likely I tend to be a bit slow on the uptake 😉 )
coz,
i think it normally goes
“how much wood could a wouldchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood
“how much wood could a wouldchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood
The girsa I have is slightly different.
“how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck would</string> chuck wood”
The answer, of course, is:
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, if a woodchuck would chuck wood.

i googled it,
it seems like a machlokes hapoets
some places say would (ayun enchanted learning and wikipedia)
some places say could (scientopia, and poetry foundation)
try this…
how much blood would a Beetle bleed if a Beetle could bleed blood;
watdya think?
I’m pretty sure the first one should be “would,”
and the second one does seem more of a tongue-twister
with “would” as well. (The version I’m familiar with
has “could” in the second place, i.e.,
“How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck would?”
on another note….
how much moon, could a munkatch katch,
if a munkatch could katch moon?
how many crackers would a quack-er crack if a quack-er could crack crackers
(it also hard to type it, lol)
Actually, I happen to like my version the best 🙂
So I was shaking out the tablecloth one Shabbos morning, when everyone else was in shul. As I opened the door to go back inside the house, a woodchuck ran right past me, through the door and into my living room. He was really cute, but I was terrified. My sister ended up finding a goy nearby to chase it out with an oar or a broom or something.
Now we have a whole family of woodchucks in the area. They’ve been trying to uproot our house for years now.
Like I said, cute.
