Its not your everyday topic. If it’s been used before, then sorry. Anyway,
The LOWS.
= The Lack Of Whistle Syndrome
Again, sorry if it’s been used. I hope it hasn’t. Then again…
The Cure for the LOWS:
Get a 2-piece Clare, Doolin, or 3 piece telescopic Noah Herbison laughing whistle! Fits easily in the pocket for whistling anywhere fun!
Yes, I’ve been told off for carrying a whistle “in case”. Of course, I’m still going to carry a whistle everywhere (maybe not to a funeral - then again, in Waking Ned, a whistle was played during the wake, so…) but a carefully hidden 2-piece can pass undetected by girlfriend/boyfriend/parent radar!
So-is that a whistle in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?
Hi Janice, nice to meet ya!
I have started compulsively carrying a Burke in my messenger bag to work, JUST IN CASE!
No LOWS if at all possible for me. Like the acronym.
Hey Weekenders, nice to meet ya again too.
Enjoyed your Berkely 60’s rant on the other thread.
Long live the Giant Burning Whistle Man.
Or Whistlin’ Womyn.
(ya gotta live here maybe to get that one).
I was delighted to find that the pencil-and-pen pockets in both my backpack and briefcase are the perfect size for a whistle 
. Now I don’t have to leave it in the car .

Isn’t it weird how we don’t want to be away from our whistles? I have several here at my desk at work, to play when I have spare time. My co-workers think I’m a tad eccentric (it’s a false rumor, of course).
shouldn’t whistles come with the surgeon general’s warning? like maybe: “warning: excessive use may dislodge family members & friends from user’s life” 
in some cases, it might actually be welcomed. harhar.
I had this on Saturday! There I was at a church picnic and my daughter was playing nicely nearby and I slumped in despair at a picnic table with my hands shamefully empty, saying, “Shoot! I was gonna grab one on the way out…”
Monday morning, I started comparing Clares and Doolins.
If my Doolin order happens to include a Meg so that I could qualify for the free Doolin 1 piece, well, that’s just me being practical. Get it now, the deal won’t be here later.
Now let us all, as one, say aloud what my husband said to me, those familiar words,
“Why do you need another whistle? You can only play one at a time.”
