A male whale and a female whale were swimming off the
coast of Japan when they noticed a whaling ship. The male
whale recognized it as the same ship that had harpooned his
father many years earlier. He said to the female whale, "Let's
both swim under the ship and blow out of our air holes at the
same time and it should cause the ship to turn over and sink."
They tried it and sure enough, the ship turned over and quickly
sank. Soon, however, the whales realized the sailors had
jumped overboard and were swimming to the safety of shore.
The male was enraged that they were going to get away and
said to the female, "Let's swim after them and gobble them up
before they reach the shore." At this point, he realized that the
female was becoming reluctant to follow him. "Look," she
said, "I went along with the blow job, but I absolutely refuse
to swallow the seamen.
