In the story of Jonah, the captain ordered all cargo to be thrown off the ship in order to lighten it and maybe save themselves. the storm got worse, then they found out that Jonah was fleeing from his God’s orders and then they threw him off the ship and the storm immediately subsided. Whereupon they all converted to Judaism...........
The great fish then swam back to the point of departure, went “Ptui!”, and Jonah came flying out, covered with fish guts. Lucky bastard.
