The Most Inappropriate Places To Break Out Your Whistle

River Otter · Post by **River Otter** » Sun Feb 12, 2006 9:34 pm

The take-with-you-everywhere-bottom-of-the-bag thread got me thinking about the most inappropriate places and times to play your take-with-you-everywhere whistle.

1) Public Restrooms
(This is also true of the harmonica, however tempted you may be)

2) Between the Caesar salad and the Chicken Parmagiana

3) 3 AM on your ex's doorstep hoping he/she will take you back

I'm drawing a blank, help me out here . . .

The prisoner's dock when the entertainment gets a little dull.

i like to pull my whistle out during loud family discussions. having a soundtrack makes these things a bit more surreal and even though i participate, i don't actually have to say anything that could be held against me. could anyone please suggest to me appropriate songs that could egg things on?

Eye Doctor's waiting room while waiting for the drops to work to dilate your eys. OK, actually I used a flute, not a whistle.

Well...

I barely play well enough now to take out my whistle at appropriate times. But then again, I'm my own worst critic.

Ask me again in a year.

I've on occaision, played my whistle while my girlfriend is soundly sleeping in the next room. How angry she gets......

Yet, what beautiful music I play.

I'd have to say in the middle of church, a wedding, or even a funeral service... Ex: Drops of Brandy

or Off to California

I'm guessing your 'ex' didn't take you back then?

Whistling in the car is okay. Doing so with passengers while the car is moving has got to be at the top of the list. "Look ma, no hands!"

Once, when the Lord of the Rings craze was at its peak, a friend of mine was reading the large Tolkien tome in the band room before school. I immediately pulled out my whistle and started into the little whistle ditty from the movies from a ways off behind her, hoping to provide some appropriate background music.

She was fairly amused. I count it a victory.

Funerals, especially jigs and hornpipes.

Any national park, wilderness area, campground, etc. whether or not you think there's "nobody within ten miles" and whether or not somebody once told you it sounded "neat."

: O! I have!

It's pretty cool when you have apathetic teachers.

Oh. And my friends and I have been kicked out of a mall once for pretending to busk. Apparently you have to pay for a licence. The janitor said he was going to call security =(. Haha.

XD.
