    Ishmael, the narrator, certainly finds it funny that his new friend Queequeg worships a small wooden idol named Yojo and observes a day of fasting and worship with it. Ishmael calls this day "a Ramadan," though Queequeg is not Muslim. The episode is played for laughs. You can read it here: http://www.powermobydick.com/Moby017.html
