If I whistle while I drive when do I catch up on my reading?

I've never met a whistle I didn't want.

JohnZiegler.Com wrote:In other legal news… the southwest territory highway patrol continued their crack down on citizens who break the territory's new ban on whistling while driving. The ban passed after prior bans on listening to the radio or CD player resulted in a .0002% drop in the number of traffic accidents last year. The Highway patrol announced that they had pulled over 25,000 drivers today alone on suspicion of whistling while driving. These drivers were all fined an undisclosed amount dependant on their ability to pay and, in the case of young women, their level of attractiveness."

I agree, when a person is driving they should only be driving.

If I enlarged a ring flute to a low ring flute, and put spokes on it thus replacing the steering wheel,and changed the embrochure to a fipple than ran a flexible tube to it than put the other end of the tube over an AC vent would that be a run on sentence?

Tell us something.: I play the first flute Jon Cochran ever made but haven't been very active on the board the last 9-10 years. Life happens I guess...I owned a keyed M&E flute for a while and I kind of miss it.

I admit to this practice. Generally only on the highway on cruise control.

I used to get highland piping lessons in my teacher's car while going to competitions.

Practice chanters only.

Suppose you play the whistle one-handed while driving - does that count as stupid or merely dedicated?

What would a wild walrus whistle if a walrus could whistle wild?

The second mouse may get the cheese but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.
