    Default I Can't Whistle

    How good are you at whistling? I'm usually good at blowing, but I can't whistle for the life of me.

    Are you good at whistling?

    I can so long as I'm not wearing my retainer.

    Can't curl my tongue, though. I guess that's a genetic thing, apparently, so I'm out of luck there.

    I've tried to learn to whistle multiple times for like 8 years at least and still can't. I just can't make it work. I feel like such a terrible human being.

    I can whistle pretty good, although I can't do that thing where you put your fingers in your mouth and make it go super-loud. I can whistle breathing inwards, though! As for the curling of tongues, I can do so. I can also make my tongue twist around so the part poking out of my mouth is actually upside down.

    I am a magnificent whistler; one of the best I have ever heard. I have a very flexible tongue, also.

    I can whistle, terribly, but by definition what I'm doing is still technically whistling.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    I whistle quite well. It always surprises me when I meet someone who can't because I had that trout down in Elementary school. I can whistle while blowing or while breathing in as well so I never have to stop.

    Okay then perverts, feel free to have at that last sentence.

    I suck at whistling, but I can whistle. I'm not good at it but i can whistle a tune, slightly. I can roll my tongue quite easily though.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    It's not that hard, really. We start real slow. You just put your lips together and you come real close.

    I can whistle well except for with my fingers in my mouth. I learned to whistle by spending all day at a convenience store and refusing to leave until I successfully whistled.

    There's that stubbornness of yours showing.
