BAJA, MEXICO (Worthy Satire) – In a scene straight out of Sunday school with a dash of divine sarcasm, a Mexican fisherman was swallowed whole by a humpback whale—only to be spat back out moments later because, in the whale’s own words, “This isn’t Jonah.”
Luis Ramírez, a 42-year-old spearfisher from Ensenada, was diving for octopus when the enormous creature mistook him for a prophetic snack. “At first, I thought I’d just swum into a cave,” said Ramírez. “Then I realized the cave was moving.”
Eyewitnesses say the whale surfaced violently, let out a massive groan, and launched Ramírez through the air like a soggy torpedo. “I thought it was a waterspout,” said one beachgoer. “But then I saw the mustache.”
Marine biologists were baffled, especially after sonar picked up a strange low-frequency message from the whale: “Wrong guy. No prophecy. No Nineveh. No thanks.”
Ramírez landed safely on a nearby fishing boat, where he immediately began questioning all his life choices. “I knew I shouldn’t have skipped church last week,” he confessed.
Religious scholars were quick to clarify the issue. “The original whale incident was a one-time, prophet-specific mission,” explained Father Mateo del Mar. “Apparently, this whale has strict casting standards.”
The whale has since been tracked swimming north, reportedly looking for a real prophet or at least someone with better preaching credentials.
Ramírez, now dubbed “No-nah,” says he’s done with ocean diving for good. “Next time I get swallowed, it better be by tacos.”
