Title: Whistling in public
Post by: Fldermaus on January 25, 2011, 12:26:24 PM: What is the appropriate punishment? The piercing noise excreted by the offender each day is loud and off-key, without tune or melody (as if whistling takes any other form).

I often whistle while I am walking around. Not loudly mind you. I whislte in and out in order to maintain a continuous tune. I can see how that would be annoying now and I'll stop before someone hits me with a pred missile.

Personally, I have never heard a 'good' whistler. It seems the only way to become 'good' at whistling must be through hours and hours of practice, developing from a bad whistler. Since bad whistlers are prone to being taken out by predator missiles :crossfingers:, this may explain the lack of those who live long enough to become "good".
