What's gopher wood?
Wood a woodchuck wouldn't chuck ...
. . .
Wood gathered by Noah's sons? From greater and greater distances?
"Shem! Ham! Japhet! Go fer some more wood!"
. . .
Wood characterized by being extremely hollow and porous, like giant reeds with special attributes, making a sort of "pump tree".

Sadly, all the gopher wood in existence had to be used to make the boat. And that's why gophers don't live in trees like the other squirrels.
Just so, just so.
