Whistling apparently died out with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". It just isn't a very "aughts" thing to do. Why is that? Is it too unabashedly cheery for our sophisticated post-postmodern tastes? If I started whistling in an ironic, self-parodying way, would it catch on? Is it just too Ned Flanders for most folks?

I hate the sound of whistling. It is enough to make me stop my shopping and shout out the general grocery store population, "Enough with the whistling already!" (I hate it almost as much as I HATE TEH BUGS!) I hate it a lot. I hate a lot of high pitched noises. I hate them almost as much as I hate any repetetive noise at all. I think I might go have my ears checked. I hear altogether too much.
