If You Ever Get Swallowed By A Sperm Whale...

And find yourself still alive in its stomach, here is a handy guide to what to do.

It happened to some bloke in the 1800s () so you never know...

So according to that you need to wait until you starve, or are saved. Or possibly smoke your way out with a small fire! :s

Not much of a guide!

no, but you could always carry pepper, JUST IN CASE

remember: you'll never need pepper until the day you decide to leave home without it, board a whaling vessel to the northwest passage, join in with the general harpoonery and slip on deck.

Tell me about it. Lucky i had a flare in my pocket i can tell ya.

If all else fails you might consider using pepper or a small fire to smoke your way out.

Indeed. I have often found a whales belly is one of the best places to find some nice dry wood to start a fire with.

...prevent further instances of swallowing unwary seamen...

I think that's quite a common problem. Especially in Essex.


Another great tip for you; Simply shout "Oi, let me out or i will call the The British Divers Marine Life Rescue Group (BDMLR) to come and *cough* rescue you *cough*. You know what happened in London mate". The whale should then spit you out and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

You mean you don't carry a small fire around with you at all times for the purpose of smoking your way out of a Sperm Whales stomach? Have you got a death wish or something?!

This 'It'll never happen to me' attitude is a dangerous one indeed.

As for it not being much of a guide, how many options did you think you had, once in a whales belly?

Makr sure you have a refillable one and some gas with u

What are the odds of being eaten anyways?

[jklm_37]

odds of bein eaten r low granted...but still higher than winnin the lottery!...
