Hey, everyone...Do I need to check into a program or something?

I got pulled over last night (for a broken headlight). Luckily I wasnt whistling when the cop saw me driving, but as I was sitting there with red and blue lights glaring in my rear view mirror while the cop wrote me up, my whistle called out to me, and in honor of this thread I pealed out a goodnloud rendition of Brian Boru.

Thankfully the cop didnt cite me extra for public nuisance or creating a disturbance.

When I am working I place my whistle in it's case on the dashboard to warm it up. It sits there and keeps me company until breaks (if I remember to take them) and lunch. It gives the county a truck a more professional appearance . I have learned however, that when the sun does come out the heat of the whistle can become quite searing to the finger tips. I have also been reminded that playing the whistle at the water makes it carry for quite some distance. When you hit the upper octaves the echo coming back is quite intense. Especially when you look down the beach and see huge populations of homes.....

I've been guilty of the sin of playing my GHB practice chanter while roaring down the road, and also of pennywhistling while doing the same. Thank the good Lord there's not enough room to fire up the bagpipes themselves!

This confused me at first because my initials are DWW.

Hey. It's all about me, isn't it.

But of course, your whistleness!

I've suddenly got a picture of whistle plus airbag plus me in my mind... ugh...
