I can whistle a tune, so long as it only has one note, and that one's flat. And out of time.

I can whistle and hum at the same time and also do a deeply annoying whistle guaranteed to get on you nerves after less than 20 seconds by flutter tongueing (woodwind players make the most annoying whistlers due to the amount of techniques we can employ in the pursuit of driving you nuts).

I can, I used to be pretty good, but I'm out of practise. I can do tuvan throat singing though.

when people talk about great gigs they have been to I like to feel my trump card is having seen Tibetan monks doing 90 minutes of throat singing at Birmingham town hall.  They were a lot better than the Damned anyway.

I saw Focus this week. Thijs Van Leer is an awesome whistler.

and yodeler IIRC. Less certain that is a lost art that needs reviving.

I can whistle a tune at ease, even using modes if I want. I never whistle using pentatonic minor. However I can't do the really loud two fingers in the mouth whistle, and for this i feel sad.

I can't do the two fingers in the mouth whistle either. Probably a good thing as I imagine I'd have been locked up for sexual harassment of random men in the street long ago.

That's true, I hate being sexually harassed by womenz. There's nothing worse I tell you.

I can't whistle a tune, yes. Like a few others above I can't do the "fingers in mouth ear-piercing" whistle thing but thankfully I've never been in a life-or-death scenario where that would have helped.
