A little girl spoke to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it is a very large mammal its throat is very small. The little girl said ""But how can that be? Jonah was swallowed by a whale."" Irritated the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human. ""It is physically impossible!"" she said. Undaunted the little girl said ""Well when I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."" To this the teacher said ""What if Jonah went to hell?""
