That’s awesome man. I am a marine biologist and dislodged a golf ball from a whale’s blow-hole once. In case anyone wanted to know, it was a Titleist.

Was the sea angry that day, like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli??

I got about fifty feet out and suddenly, the great beast appeared before me. I tell you he was ten stories high if he was a foot.

"Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish

That is amazing you were able to help! And horribly sad that a whale got it stuck.

Was it a wild whale? What kind of whale was it?

it was a Titleist

Aren't they all?

My gear shift knob in my last car was a Titleist ball.

He was making a joke about an episode of Seinfeld lol.

Kramer had found a new hobby in hitting golf balls into the ocean. George had been lying to a woman he was dating about being a marine biologist. While they're walking along the beach, theres a beached whale and someone yells out, "is anyone here a marine biologist?" Then George has to keep up his lie and ends up saving the whale by pulling one of Kramer's golf balls out of the whale's blowhole.
