Do You Whistle?

Do you whistle?

[Ed Anger]

I thought I was bored.

I thought I was bored.

I was watching 'Tess', as scene were she has to whistle to the old lady's captive songbirds; I though there's not enough whistling goes on in this modern world, have people lost the knack? 

[Monoriu]

No.  I have long concluded that I can't whistle.  I just don't know how to do it.  I tried a couple of times when I was a kid, but either I have no idea, or I am physically incapable of doing it.  Or both.

It's what, 2 am in England? Go to sleep, Mongers.

I do a mean theme song from The Good, the Bad, and Ugly.

My whistling is thoroughly rustic in comparison and only strikes when the mood takes me.

[CountDeMoney]

I whistle greatest hits of the Carpenters until somebody finally says, "Wha...is that...'Close to You?' The fuck?"

[Tonitrus]

I can/do conventional whistling.

But I do envy my late grandpa, who could do that fingers-in-the-mouth-mega-decibel whistle that I never could seem to replicate.

Me neither, never could figure that one out. 

But I can crack gum like a sniper, though;  I can make Vietnam vets dive for cover with a shitty stick of Dentyne.

Same here.

But regular whistling?  No problem.  I particularly like to whistle a happy tune when things are going poorly at work--I find it tends to piss my co-workers off, but they can't really complain to my superiors, because from their POV, I'm maintaining a positive attitude in the face of adversity.  This amuses me.
