So, if a human got stuck in a whale in a hypothetical scenario: would the whale be able to vomit out the human by itself or could the human simply swim out of its mouth (I imagine it would be quite annoying for the whale to have a human inside its mouth)?

But the Old Testament says they can.

I remember this fact from QI years ago in the Series F - France episode.
