*whistle* *whistle* *whistle*

Have I ever told you all how I’m an expert clapper? I started training myself to clap during my first year of college (the reason being because pigeons bobbing their heads would really annoy me).

About two years later I got to the point where I was able to do the Sonic Clap. The Sonic Clap is a clap of such potency that everyone in the nearby area gets a ringing in their ears afterwards.

Then I stopped.

Naturally, my ability atrophied, although I can still bring down the house in a particularly good moment of inspiration. Now, however, I’m seeking something far greater.

I’m going to become an expert whistler.

It’s long since been my dream to whistle. I never learned as a kid. To hide my inability, as a teen I would just say the word ‘whistle’ over and over again (Interestingly, I stole that from an ex-girlfriend… I only kept it up over the years as a mental memento).

I’ve been training myself for about 8 months now and have found that though I still cannot whistle normally (or carry a tune. Good gosh don’t ask me to carry a tune), I can now approach what I’m going to call the Mach Whistle. If I can just get another few months of practice, I will get to the point where people will pay me not to whistle.

I hope I can get some good practice time in on that 14 hour plane ride tomorrow. Heh heh heh.

  1. I am no great whistler, but I am an incredible clapper. I too have trained myself to do the sonic clap and can make ears ring (even bleed, maybe)several feet from “the clap”. My amazing ability is quite a party piece, especially as I am only 19 and a slim 65 inches tall.
