The speaker at last Sunday's service told this story:

A young girl was sitting at the back of her class listening to her teacher talk about fishes and whales and all those things that swim in the sea. Then he remarked, 'You know, its impossible for a whale to swallow a whole human being, its just not biologically possible.'
The girl was alittle bemused as that statement contradicted what she had been thought at Sunday School, the story of Jonah being swallowed whole by a big fish.
The teacher went on and on about whalebones and plankton filtering and the girl got more and more upset. At last, she couldnt stand it any longer and raised her hand
'But what about Jonah?'
'Well, young lady, science tells us its just not possible'
'But the story is true'
'Biology says its not'
'But...'
'You have got to be able to differentiate between truth and stories'

'Well, but I'm going to ask Jonah myself one day when I get to heaven!'
to which the teacher asked, 'and what if he went to hell?' snickering

'Oh, in that case, YOU can ask him.'
