Jonah: From the Belly of the Whale

How are a dog and a marine biologist alike? One wags a tail and the other tags a whale.

What do whales eat? Fish and ships.

Fact: Did you know that a blue whale is so long, if it were laid out lengthwise on a football field, the game would totally have to be cancelled?

How can you make a whale float? With root beer, ice cream and a whale?
