No, and it's killing me. Andy Griffith made me want to whistle, and I can't.

Not that I am good at whistling but I can whistle.
Not ... tunefully. But I can pucker my lips and blow.

Not to save my life. I absolutely despise people whistling, sets my teeth on edge.

I can whistle a tune just fine, but I can't do the loud, taxi-summoning wolf whistle, which is probably the real survival skill of the two.

Exactly what I was coming in to say - the fingers-in-the-mouth thing has never worked for me.
I voted "no," since I can't whistle a tune with any degree of accuracy, and the best sound I can force out is very breathy and thin. I have never understood how people do it.
I can do the two-finger taxi whistle extremely well, though.
You know, Hat, I've always pictured you as being able to stop traffic with just a meaningful look.
Yes, and pretty well, too. I can even whistle the piccolo part from Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever.
Well 2 outa 3 ain't bad.

We started with nothing and we still have most of it left.
I can't whistle to save my life and never could. I can, however, make a whistle out of a blade of grass.
I can whistle well enough to do that marching song from Bridge over the River Kwai, kinda out of tune. I can't do the two-finger whistle thing. My older brother can do it to ear-splitting volume, and I'm way jealous of that skill.
Yeah, me too. I call taxis like a girl.

I yearn for the taxi whistle. That said, I can whistle a fair tune. I do the tune to The Great Escape unceasingly...
I can't carry a tune at all, but I can do that taxi whistle occasionally. I fail at it sometimes and it comes out sounding about as manly as a bunny fart, though.
Can't whistle in tune or loud enough to shatter glass, but I can whistle to my dog. Good enough for me.
I would have thought the non-whistler group would be larger.
Now I feel flawed...

I can make noise like I'm whistling, but it isn't as bright or piercing as others can do. In fact, I can whistle better inhaling than I can exhaling.
My grandpa was a pro at it, and I asked him to teach me once, so he did. Some notes I do better inhaling vs. exhaling, which is probably annoying if you're listening to me do it.
I can't do the loud taxi-call whistle, though.
Yes, I can whistle in tune, but I prefer to whistle just out of tune though, its always much more fun.

I do a sad wolf whistle, but I can't do a tune. I voted yes anyway.
They weren't singing....they were just honking.

I can whistle, but since I'm completely without musical skills, it doesn't count. I taught myself to wolf whistle, the kind without fingers in the mouth, while walking the dog. Privacy and boredom are great teachers.
Yes, even the "fingers in mouth" whistle.
