For real, it’s valuable stuff. If anyone sees a ball of it that was coughed up on a beach, grab it and run before someone else gets it.
I am living in a world I no longer understand!!
The whales must have heard Biden’s acceptance speech….Huh?….the dem primary isn’t over?….never mind…..
I don’t even…
TRF, back in the old days, man knew whales were his greatest enemy.
We didn’t just kill them, we processed their bones into horse buggy whips, umbrella ribs and corsets for the ladies.
We even figured out a way to turn whale barf into perfume. Sure, it costs a lot to turn barf into perfume, but now there is no part of Mans most deadly foe we can’t use against them in our never ending quest to master this miserable planet and everything that lives upon it.
Just Ralphed,,
7 kg of whale vomit valued at over $275,000.
Wished I know that a long time ago, like before Tesla.
I can sell you some hairballs my cat hacks up for a lot less.
I’ve been to several rodeos, county fairs and survived more than a few presidential elects; but, never heard of Whale puke smuggling. So that’s a thing now? Wow, just hope there isn’t any government subsidies involved.
Hillary vomit is even more plentiful and has the pleasant aroma of chardonnay. Available every morning around 9.
How do you induce vomiting in a whale?
“How do you induce vomiting in a whale?”
Stick your finger down its throat.
Make it drink ipecac.
Show it a Madonna video.
Let me tell you about whale vomit…
I thought that Rosie O’Donnell in a swim suit was bad enough, but now this…
Calling Jonah on the Big White Phone.
That’s all that was left of Jonah. Upchucked after 3500 years.
^^^That what Vintage is worth today with proof^^^
Is anyone watching Gregory Pecks grave?
Aaron – We even figured out a way to turn whale barf into perfume,
then we invented soap and showers!
I saw pictures of whale vomit big as a man. I had yet to see what whale poop looks like.
And I wanted to keep it that way, until I got bored and went to search for it about 3 minutes ago…

😳
Those are some mighty big whale logs. Do they sink to bottom of the sea or are they just floaters?
^^^ Hmmm… I see the resemblance.
I don’t know why I know this, but Ambergris has been valuable for a long time as a perfume additive. Odd that anyone would be arrested for possession of it. It’s not like they had to kill a whale to get it.
So who would have guessed that whale upchuck would have been one of the lead stories on the day after Super Tuesday. That would seem to indicate the nation just wasn’t that into socialist politics.
Frankly, I’m saddened that no one else has read Moby Dick.
Ambergris from barf, tooth brushes from baleen, and all those cool stick shift knobs that look like eyes……. those are eyes. From whales.
Also, pretty sure whale dung is a key ingredient in hydrogen bomb making.
I learned about ambergris from reading a lot of Encyclopedia Brown back in the day.
most of my vomit is worth it’s weight in alcohol
… just sayin’
@Truckbuddy – The article says the two didn’t have an ambergris possession license. WTF? An ambergris possession license?! The world perfume cartel must be stronger than I realized to get such a law passed!
Al, if there were no licencing, there’d be whales standing in trench-coats and dark sunglasses at every street corner offering to puke for 5 bucks.
I didn’t know whales even listened to Bruce Springsteen.
Aaron Burr:
I admit that I haven’t read “Moby Dick“.
But I have indeed read Moby-Dick¹. Typee and Omoo, too.
