Shut up with your whistling

In the spirit of the Olympics that just ended; and all the concert recordings I’ve been listening to recently; and the comedy shows I listen to on my way to work: I want a ban on that whistle. You know, that one. The two-fingers-in-the-mouth high-pitched summon-the-neighborhood-dogs make-everyone’s-ears-hurt one. I don’t want it to be illegal.  That wouldn’t work, and I don’t want to restrict peoples’ liberties.  I want it to be impossible.  Just impossible.  I wish no one had ever invented that thing.
