I have a well played Generation Bb tin whistle that I want to sell.
Its an instrument I kept in the car to play in traffic jams.
It has a few dints in it from rolling around off the seat
and being trodden on by high heeled passengers.
Its not all metal, the beak is plastic - red plastic.
I desperately need the money at the moment
to finance my next trip to Ireland.
Only offers in excess of $2000 will be considered.
Thanks.
:roll:
You forgot to mention that it was given to you by a famous Irish musician as a thank-you for bailing out their last concert tour…
Do you accept confederate money? Officially it’s not worth anything, but you can often shame merchants into accepting it. At least in Alabama you can.
If its authentic CSA money, I’ll be glad to help you out and take it off your hands - say ten cents (US) per C-note? 
~Ahem~

You can also go back and look at earlier strips to see how this one developed.
Lil’ Abnormal is playing with a jr. chemestry lab kit (remember those?) and he is stumped at finding a final ingrediet to make his revolutionary perfume to make turnips smell like pork chops. He adds confederate money, and , poof, he comes up with an addictive scent. But not of pork chops.

are you guys making fun of me?
for wanting to visit Ireland?
Talasiga,
Isn’t your price a little low for something that valuable You REALLY must want to go to Ireland, is all I can say.
No, we are making fun of you because if you have a generation that is that loved and well played it must be a good one.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GET RID OF A GOOD GEN?
At ANY price?
Oh, by the way, do you take Monopoly money?
No, but I’ll consider REAL monopoly money…
The fairest way to make this treasure available to the largest possible market would be to put it up for auction. If Sothebys won’t handle it, then there is always E-BAy. There is no telling how much $$ this whistle, which I now understand to be one of the few artifacts that remain from the Titanic (the movie, not the event) due to an exceedingly wild cast party on Oscar Night.

I’ve got the cash on hand for this “rare” find; however, I’ve got little warning bells going off in my head (or something). I’ve had two Gen Bb whistles and the mouthpieces were both blue. What’ve you done to the whistle? Is it not in mint condition - I mean, you’ve tweaked it or something, right? From watching Antiques Roadshow, I know this diminishes its value. I don’t want to pay out all that cash and then find out I’ve just got a Gen tube with some freakish mouthpiece on it.
One has to be careful these days.
Now now Bubsy
I know not what generation you belong to
but for aeons now, the brasssy whistles have the red beaks
and the chromy ones have the blue.
What the heck have I got then? Because I’m sitting right here looking at a brass Bb with a blue mouthpiece. I’m sure it’s special and rare. I’ll consider any offer over $500 (I can’t go to Ireland right now anyway, so I’ll settle for less).
Are you sure it is not that haunting sound that is made when air is passed over the top of a mostly empty bottle?
Hey, it could be! Just trying to help.
it’s always haunting when someone passes air. :roll:
Would you consider taking two $1,000 Generation Cs in trade?
Only $2000.00! What are you going to do? Spend one night in Dublin.

Weellllll…
Yeah.
Wow Susnfx! That puts a whole new spin on this thread. I’ve heard that the Crystal People are looking for the blue head/brass tube combination, and are willing to trade a good set of uilleann pipes to obtain such a whistle. If you play your cards right, you may get them to throw in a couple of Copeland steling silver D’s and possibly a sets of tickets to the World Series.
If the Yankees are in it, I’d settle for the WS tickets alone! Anybody know how to get in touch with the Crystal People? Or do I just have to wait for them to ((@&$ (%(^_$( help )@(*&!!^%$@ let go of those tickets! &^!&^%@ give me back that wh !@@^_#$& I’m not afraid of y …
