Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I'd actually say this one, but odds are the hearer wouldn't realise he'd just been insulted.

Whistles are too expensive

Whistles are dumb (as opposed to whistlers)

Yeah, right, sure, I whistle while I work, uh huh....

Yeah, right, like for trains or dogs, uh huh....yeah just like a bobbie....

Yes, they are the same as a Recorder!

Whistles are easy to play, you can learn in a couple of minutes.

There's really not a lot of music you can play with the whistle.

I've almost mastered this thing. Then I can move on to a real instrument.

(At an airline ticket counter) And I'll need to book a second seat for my instrument.

My agent wants to hold out for a better offer from a larger record label.

Quality is much more consistent in factory-made instruments.

Things whistle makers never say:

We really had to ramp up production after those Superbowl ads.

The initial stock offering has generated a lot of interest.

Our priority right now is increased market share.

I'm looking forward to retiring from this business.
