Jonah and the Whale

Topic: Jokes, Unbelief, Skepticism, Heaven 

There was this sweet little old Christian lady who was an accountant by profession and had to do a lot of traveling by air for her business. But flying made her quite nervous so she always took her Bible along with her to read since it helped her to relax. 

One time she was sitting next to a man who saw her pull out her Bible. He gave a little chuckle and then went back to his Hustler magazine. 

After awhile he turned to her and asked: "You don't really believe all that stuff in there do you?"

The lady replied: "Of course I do, it is the Bible." 

He smiled: "Well what about that guy that was swallowed by that whale?" 

She replied: "Oh, Jonah. Yes, I believe that -- it is in the Bible. 

He asked: "Well, how do you suppose he survived all that time he spent inside the whale?" 

The lady said: "Well, I don't really know. I guess when I get to heaven, I will ask him." 

"What if he isn't in heaven?" the man smiled, sarcastically. 

The little old lady smiled back: "In that case, you can ask him."
