As the world economy has taken its toll globally, people with “expensive” livelyhoods and hobbies have had to downgrade to less expensive livelyhoods and hobbies due to “cash flow” concerns (or maybe just a whim to try something new). As the masses of expensive hobbyist have shifted to less expensive hobbies, the PENNYWHISTLE has suffered an influx to such degree, that a SHORTAGE of PENNYWHISTLES has occured. Inventories worldwide have been depleted to the point of “waiting” lists and delivery time delays.
And just the fact that WhOAD is so prevalent nowadays, indications clearly exist, only “contributes” to the shortage.
The old timer whistlers have quietly kept the shortage announcement to themselves in order to buy up all the high-end whistles, even the middle of the road models. Check stores, check online, inventories are rapidly depleting, far too frequently we see “Out of Stock” listed, or “Back Ordered”. And now, even the Newbies are announcing their starting out with more than ONE whistle. Rarely, if ever, do you see a forum post from someone that has just ONE whistle (and intend to remain in the singular form). Step forth, announce yourself.
For the oldtimers, chime in here, announce yourselves. The “secret” is out… WHISTLE SHORTAGE WORLDWIDE… and you can’t keep the secret from the Newbies (they deserve to know the truth), and you can’t HOARD the Mother WhOAD! Set the WHISTLE FREE!
Maybe us Illuminati know that the magical powers of whistles are going to be revealed on 12/22/2012. You’d think it would be ocarinas, but no, it’s whistles. Maybe we’re going to blame the shortage on the Masons or the Knights Templar. They need more blame, they suspicious groups. Maybe the whistle shortage is all of ruse, just like the current rise in the price of gold, which we had nothing to do with and you can’t prove it either, just so that we can financially benefit from the change in market prices and buy us another island yacht. Yeah boy.
