74. No other instrument will make you sound like an elf if you play in a forest at night.

76. Good for local pub economy as it increases visits through session attendance (may nullify point 75...)

77. Officers and Senior NCO's leave you alone, because only someone quite insane would bring a "whatever the hell that thing is" on a patrol.

78. If you cover all the fingerholes and put the whole head in your mouth you can, with some limitation, use it as a drinking straw. If you must.

79. You can have a collection and they don't take up too much space.

80. You can even display them in a vase and don't have to change the water.

Love the whistle Paul, with my horrible playing it helps scares off the insurgents!

But I only take it out on special occasions, the dry heat and all. Most times it's the ol' Dixon Trad.

Wouldn't it be awful if you pulled the whistle out of your pocket instead of your gun. Keep up the good work out there

80. (Again then) If you were in a spot you could pretend you had a gun in your pocket

81. It's fun pulling it out and playing for puzzled metal-detector operators at security checkpoints.

82. Whistles give me an excuse to say "Goat" in a popular online forum. There .. I have said goat - it has been a while and I feel much better. It's like being a Knight who says "ni" .. Enough said. I must go buy another copy of "Catcher in the Rye"... then agian, perhaps there is a movie version ...

83. To play a whistle is to appreciate one's heart - without being made to pay for it! (unless you want to)

84. The people I meet from playing a whistle are better than the people I meet doing anything else.

85. Making a whistle is an act of love. No one gets rich doing it, but then, what is "rich"??

86. It's one of the few serious musical instruments that folks buy in bulk.
