Do you wanna blow my whistle baby whistle baby, let me know!

I whistle along with some songs lol, it’s like humming

Whistling is fun

1 what is there to whistle about?
2 I whistle occasionally but only to demonstrate my mighty trill to the weans.
3 not to get philosophical but isn’t a fart just your bum whistling?

I like how you brought house into this discussion.

A good old whistle can’t hurt right?

Evidence of the downfall of whistling perhaps? A house track called The Whistle Song with no actual whistling in it?

While we’re at it, how come nobody uses slide whistles anymore? How are you supposed to signify that somebody slipped on a banana peel or dropped an anvil off of a cliff?

My experience with whistlers is they usually have shitty personalities… guys who whistle in public places , guys who wear loafers , and guys with too much perfume … assholes !

And we appreciate that, however dirt men and women is a more accurate description of who is involved in the maintenance work we do.

I always liked this version:

Remember, if you can’t whistle it, it isn’t music!!!

I mostly bartend at the brewery I work for, and am usually the one responsible for controlling the music. I made a playlist of about 700 songs, and dammit I whistle along all day long while I’m pouring beer. No one has ever asked me to stop; in fact I often get compliments for it LOL

I want to know why people don’t whittle anymore? Back in the day someone’s uncle was always whittling a wooden duck or something. Why no more whittling? Someone from the pocketknives anonymous thread must know.
