Whistle T Shirts?

A friend of mine, Linda, makes harps. She has a great T shirt which says, beneath a picture of a harp, " If you were a harp I would pluck you".
Now please note that, however slight, there is a degree of subtlety about this. I have been trying to think of a whistle T shirt along the same lines, but cannot introduce any subtlety at all. Apart from the obvious non-subtle possibilities, does anyone have any suggestions?

How about your .sig?

Or Lauren Bacall's classic line, something like, "You know how to whistle -- just put your lips together and blow."

Yeah! With a nice closeup of a pair of red lips approaching the mouthpiece of a whistle-- pretty darned provacative, but not blatantly sexual

I'm still hoping someone will come up with an Irish looking Kokopelli for a T shirt design.

How about your whistle mouthpiece resting against the bottom lip of a pair of high gloss lips with the words "Original SYN" ?

Or Adam and Eve, in their fig leaves, playing whistles, with the same line? (Maybe charming a serpent?)

On the top of the picture:
If you had a fipple, you'd be a whistle

On the bottom of the picture,
If you had two fipples, you'd be a SYN

This image came into my mind. Two whistles crossed on the front of a tee shirt with the fipples in a uhm strategic location. The wording across the top would read "NICE FIPPLES!"

Wasn't that Stabey's "avatar" for a while?

How about: "Tweak my fipples!"

OK, sometimes first trys aren't the best. Here's another:
On the top:
If it's a SYN,

It'l make you grin!
On the bottom

All right, two for the price of one:

Go ahead and SYN,
It'l make you grin!

or three:
Go ahead and grin!
You've got a SYN!

Whistlers do it with their tongues and fingers?

I think the word The needs to be included with the other part. I submit the following as well.

The Original Sin
Pictures over under or side by side.
The Australian Syn

BTW-- I found a great site online for making t-shirts. It's www.artapart.com

They have an online design page where you can work up your own design, even uploading pics. I made myself a Busman Whistles shirt with a small pic of some whistles on the chest, and "Got Wood?" and a larger whistle picture on the back, with mywebsite URL. It came out quite nice.
Your design can be applied to several types of shirts including women's cut, plus other items such as mouse pads, etc. Best part is that there's no minimum order. You can also send a link to your design to friends, customers etc and they can order their own goodies. Prices are not bad considering that this is all custom work. I'm sure there are other outfits like this online too.

All right, last try:

If you were a SYNwhistle,

I'd give you a toot!

Thanks everybody,
you all managed to complete the exercise with a great deal more subtlety than I was able to muster. I must admit that my favourite was the Lauren Bacall quote, I think it has just the right tone.
Thanks!
