Give A Little 'Whistle'

[shapeshifter]

When we are all alone, is whistling a sort of legalized, talking to ourselves?

 

[Daneel]

I wasn't aware that talking to yourself was illegal. Well, what do you know... I guess I'm a career criminal. And all this time I thought I was just crazy...

As for whistling, I couldn't say... I've never been able to do it.

The sanity Police are on their way. Sorry to hear that you are unable to whistle. It may make you feel better to know I am not a very good whistler.

Okay, "justified" might be a better word.

I freak out my group members at school since I talk to myself when organising stuff during shoots I try to dial it down to humming.

Hari should have taught you that, like he taught you how to chuckle.

I don't so much talk to myself as argue with myself a lot. [You ARE mad... - someone] Am I...? We shall see!

As for whistling, is inhalational whistling a sign of the Devil? I often do it all the time in comblination with exhalational whistling, in order to prolong my whist-gasm.

I whistle by myself, I sing by myself, I talk to myself. I see it as more of a sounding board thrown out into the air so one can hear how it might sound to someone else.

I wasn't able to whistle until 8th grade or so. Then I figured it out, and now i'm really good at it.

 

[Mallory]

Whenever I start whistling the dog shows up. He should know the difference between me whistling for him to come and just whistling for the joy of it.

 

[Spot's Meow]

You know, I actually don't whistle, hum, sing, or talk when I'm by myself. There has been times, like on weekends, where I've been home alone for a couple of days and never made a sound. I don't do it on purpose, I guess I just talk to myself in my head. And I enjoy the silence.

And I was never very good at whistling. I can whistle, but only about two notes, so I could never whistle an actual tune.

 

[backstept]

I make some of the strangest noises . . . perfectly normal in my opinion

 

[MarciaCat]

I can't whistle but I talk to my cats when I'm alone; does that count?

 

[RobertVA]

There's nothing wrong with talking to yourself!

You've got serious problems if you get in an argument though.

 

[DragonLady]

Talking to yourself is the only way to ensure you're having an intelligent conversation, at least in my case.

 

[shapeshifter]

Talking to cats is sane, they understand but only lack ability to respond.

What got this started was, I was alone here when I noticed I had started talking to myself. I suddenly felt very strange about it so to counter that feeling I quickly switched to whistling, apparently so anyone listening would not think I was crazy.
