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? :bowler:
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.
:whistle:

Lauren Bacall had some advice on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MheNUWyROv8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MheNUWyROv8)

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.
I whistle greatest hits of the Carpenters until somebody finally says, "Wha...is that...'Close to You?' The fuck?"
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.
My whistling technique is pretty poor, so I don't indulge much in it. Like any musical instrument, practice makes perfect I guess.
Oh yeah, I can also do an excellent Andy Griffith Show. :ccr
