Anti-WHOA Legislation

I thought that story about the Iraqis trying to source whistles from Nigeria had already been debunked?

"btw, can I join your Whistler's Resistance group? After all, if we don't hang together, we'll end up hanging separately. "

Me, too, me, too! After all, there's safety (and security) in numbers!!

Blackhawk, as far as I'm concerned, you're the one who *started* the idea of the Whistler's Resistance!

I say regulate them, register them so we know who has them, but don't outlaw them. People will just make them in their basements or buy them on the streets. And it creates a whole new class of criminals. Remember how prohibition almost destroyed our country by making all the cops go on the take?

If we're not careful, we'll end up being plagued by the Whistler's Resistance, and we don't want that!

You revolutionary soul, you.

We can't let anti-WHOA legislation overcome us. Remember, "The right of the people to keep and bear whistles shall NOT be infringed." Technically speaking, though, we don't really need a Whistler's Resistance unless the legislation is passed. But it doesn't hurt to be organized and ready just in case.

Ew.

I'm pretty sure I don't want any of your whistles.

*throws fist in air, a whistle tightly clamped between her fingers* 'Tis a sad, sad day when whistles should be outlawed, but those of us who are Whistler's Resistance members shall never lay down and let our whistles be taken without a fight! So let us sally forth into the fray, and defeat the Government Feds who want to take our whistles! Tally ho!

I like that! OK, then I'll change my quote now and take my place shoulder to shoulder with all of you in the barricades against the evil oppressors who would rob of us the joy of life...our whistles! Let us march forth telling all who threaten us that our sons, daughters and whistles are theirs no longer! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!

Who needs one of those cumbersome external whistle anyway...I've refined my own whisting (both inhaling and exhaling) to the point where I much prefer the one God gave me. Breathing is so much simpler. And furthermore, I find the rolls, crans, triplets, and vibrato come just as easy (tongue not in cheek), if not easier.

But for your own protection, I'd suggest camouflaging your little tooters by stuffing them full of weeds (just don't inhale). No need to join forces here. You're already protected under the "Whistle Blower's Act."
