A Whale Blasted an Ungodly Amount of Ass Ham All Over Some Divers

Vice. Pics at link.

The whale flipped onto its side and started spinning in circles while engulfing the divers in shit, creating what one of the divers called a "poonado."

A group of divers near the Caribbean island of Dominica were engulfed in a mighty cloud of shit churned out by a sperm whale. The men were on a routine expedition to photograph the whales when one of their subjects started blasting an ungodly amount of butt butter into the ocean while spinning in circles, causing what one of the divers called a "poonado." Showing no mercy, the beast didn't stop until a 100-foot-wide cloud of its Mississippi mud had coated the divers and their equipment.

In a show of unwavering dedication to his craft, Canadian photographer Keri Wilk managed to capture the experience on film. Some believe the torrent of rusty nuggets was a little known defense mechanism, triggered by the proximity of the divers. On the other hand, it could have just been a spastic, diarrheic beast—that's how little we understand about whales and their insane, magical shits.

"After a few waves of feces were released and stirred vigorously by the whale, the water was like chocolate milk. I couldn't see my hand when I held it in front of my face. I had poop in my eyes, mouth, wetsuit, everywhere and I was soaked in it from head to toe.

I say it half-jokingly, but there have been recorded cases of whales appearing to specifically target whaling boats.

...with all the euphemisms for feces.

I must say that “ass ham” is a new one on me.

I think they took some liberties. Even Urban Dictionary does have a poop reference.

...at the veterinarian’s office.

Today’s moms want to send cell phone pictures after hours, when we are on call, of their kids’ poopy diapers if they think something looks off. I will look at the real thing in a diaper someone brings to the office, but there is something rather creepy about cell phone pictures of poop. I can’t get them out of my mind, and that’s a “brain” worm I really do not need.

Fortunately, HIPPA regulations do not permit exchange of medical info over non-secure phone lines, so I get to tell those who wish to send me this type of picture that I am not allowed to do this.

I think the whale was trying to make a point since it really stirred it up!
