By the way, can you whistle?

In the language spoken in the Netherlands, they have an expression that says:
“Meisjes die fluiten,
krijgen jongens met duiten”.


Translated into the language spoken by many worldwide, this means more or less:

“Girls who whistle,
will get guys who have money”.

A rather puzzling statement because why would a guy with money be more attracted to a girl that whistles?

Maybe we can find a clue in two other things that are being said in this peculiar country called not only the Netherlands but Holland as well.

One thing they claim in the Netherlands is that girls are unable to whistle.
And the other thing is, in case a girl knows how to whistle, that it is very inappropriate and impolite for her to whistle.

So, we could argue that only very talented and brave girls are able to whistle.
And for sure that the talent and the bravery is attractive to rich boys.

It also might be that it has to do with the position of the lips.
While whistling the lips have to take on a certain position.
Maybe boys see in that how it will be when possibly kissing the girl later.
Like a test and demonstration how her face will look when the romantic moment comes.

These days, after we have experienced emancipation in many societies, girls can whistle no problem.
But they probably can’t what the pioneering photographer is able to do.
He can whistle non-stop.
Which means he can produce a sound of whistling that is permanent.
With his lips!
Every other human being, men or women, can whistle only as long as there is air supply in the lungs.
Once this volume of air has all been blowned out, the whistling stops in order to have new air enter the lungs.
This phenomenon can also be observed with trumpet players.

So how can one produce a permanent whistle sound in spite of this human physical need to breath?
Some magic?
Or maybe a trick?

It can be revealed to this exclusive group of fervent and loyal blog readers that it is a technique.
Developed over the years.
The technique is to be able to whistle not only when the air is blown out, but also when the air is sucked in.
In other words, the lips are kept in the whistle position while air is either drawn in or blown out.
How about that?

Many fervent and loyal blog readers will be deeply tempted to try this out.
To find out it is not that easy.
That it takes many months of serious exercise to be able to perform properly.

Even yesterday, cousin Jerzek said, how come you can whistle so well?
He had noticed it was a melody that was not interrupted by inhaling air.
So it really pays off to learn this technique, as it impresses music lovers.

Now, what is all this nonsense about?
Who is concerned with this kind of idiotic information?
What is the relevance?
Isn’t it like saying that the shoe size is 13 and the condom size XXL?
Totally unnecessary information except for the shoemaker and an exclusive group of women?

But consideration is requested.
Because this week the nerves are stretched painfully far.
The prototype of the photo book of the project “The most beautiful people in the world” is presented to the worldwide book publisher Thames and Hudson and to many other foreign book publishers on the International Book Fair in London, U.K.
The end of this week more should be known what are the chances that the photo book of the project “The most beautiful people in the world” will indeed be published and in what languages and which countries.
So while this is happening in London, U.K., out of sheer tension and nervousness one gets lost in absurd nonsense.
Drawing many fervent and loyal blog readers into it as well like in the story of the brothers Grimm about the flute player of Hameln.

They always say that a modicum of truth exists in every "old saying" and maybe it is right about girls who can whistle marry successful men. I was raised around lots of girls who learned to be tough because of their situation in life. I learned to fight, but was not good at it, and I learned to stand my ground, but did it with quaking knees, and I learned how to whistle by putting two fingers in my mouth and blowing really hard. I am very good at whistling. It is a loud piercing sound and can stop anyone in their tracks. I did not show this to my future, successful husband until I made sure he was in love with me. He does get a kick out of it sometimes. Now I only use it to show off or in an emergency or if I drink Tequila.
