His name’s not Jonah — but this Cape Cod man sure has something in common with the biblical figure now.
Commercial lobster diver Michael Packard was going about his business off the coast off Provincetown, Mass. when he was swallowed whole by a humpback whale — trapped in its gullet for nearly a minute before being coughed back up, according to a report.
Packard, 56, was about 35 feet below the surface near Herring Cove Beach at 8 a.m. Friday when the massive mammal tried to turn him into breakfast, the Cape Cod Times reported.
“All of a sudden, I felt this huge shove and the next thing I knew it was completely black,” Packard told the outlet. “I could sense I was moving, and I could feel the whale squeezing with the muscles in his mouth.”
Stunned, his first thought was that he’d been snapped up by a great white shark — and was done for.
Packard told the local CBS News affiliate that he thought to himself “This is it, I’m gonna die.”
“I was completely inside [the whale]; it was completely black,” Packard told the Cape Cod Times. “I thought to myself, ‘there’s no way I’m getting out of here. I’m done, I’m dead. All I could think of was my boys, they’re 12 and 15 years old.”
Experts say the whale may have been a juvenile who swallowed the man accidentally.
But when he realized he could feel no teeth, he began struggling and felt the whale shaking his head in discomfort, he said
Within 40 seconds the massive mammal spit him back out into the ocean.

God’s way of saying, “I told you so.”
Gays have turned Provincetown into the most perverted dump on earth. Bars and restaurants for “gays only”, men being led around on leashes by other men. The ferry that comes in from Boston is 90% gay.
Note to self. Don’t swim in schools of herring when baleen whales are about
There is something fishy about this story.
Jonah
You didn’t swallow this story, didja’?
That’s a whale of a tale.
Seriously? When I was at Naval War college back in the mid 2000s, we spent a couple weekends in Provincetown. There were some weirdos to be sure, but it was mostly normal, if also drunk, people. It’s gone full-on Key West, Fire Island?
I got better
I was in North Truro in the 80’s and we went to Provincetown many times. It was “full on” to be sure. Maybe I just “lucked” out and was there on freak Friday or something. Beautiful town. They come and destroy nice family friendly towns every chance they get.
We’re really living in the days of Jonah.
Did Jonah make up his story too?
who is diving with a great white shark population explosion?
who believes this story ?
Is he about to start preaching repentance messages to Nantucket?

Who knows if its true but it’s everywhere. Your local news probably covered it.
That’s some fish tale.
The one that got away is always the most interesting.
I know. It is so incredibly sad.
