Boys I haven't in years. My Mom used her two little fingers and you could here it a half mile. Folks used to whistle tunes and all. Has it become socially unacceptable?
When is the last time you heard anyone whistle?

I just heard a guy whistle 'Yankee Doodle.'
I'm not telling who it was, but I am the only one here.

Granddaughter is excellent whistler!
My 7 year old Granddaughter is an excellent whistler...she and I enjoy whistling tunes together, especially "Whistle while you work." She is really something!

I whistled a tune today. I am a ditch digger by trade, 25 years in installing utilities such as water main lines and sewer mains. I've discovered a quirk of mine, whenever I'm digging around other utilities such as gas, electric, or communication I whistle when I'm free and clear of them. Not sure if it's just the way that I come down from stress or if it's satisfaction of a safe dig.
That being said, now thinking about it, you don't see people whistling as a general rule. Interesting observation.

I whistle a lot!
I sometimes hear whistlin' in the locker room at the Y. Usually the old timers.
My wife and I whistle to locate one another.

I whistle all the time. Usually older tunes no one recognizes anymore. Most folks don't get it.
I don't whistle entire songs but people in my office hear me every day. [emoji11]

Waitress at a restaurant I frequent was whistling during a slow period. I reminded her that some believe whistling indoors can cause the roof to fall down.

I have two dogs.
I whistle part of a tune now and then while listening to the satellite oldies feed at work. Gets me some strange looks.
I remember when I was a kid I had the devil of a time learning to whistle. For some reason I just couldn't master it. I eventually found that I could whistle by sucking air in easier than I could by blowing it out. I was maybe six or so when an older family member asked at Thanksgiving dinner if I could whistle. I replied, "No, but I can sucksle." I couldn't figure out why that brought the house down.

It hasn't been long enough. I hate whistling.
I whistle a lot. It may not be socially acceptable, but that isn't my strong suit anyway...
I'd learn how to whistle fast.
