Can you whistle?
I mean whistle — like you're calling the dog when he's waaaaaaaay down the street or you're hailing a cab in Manhattan.

I can't, and apparently it's a deep-seated wish, because I have a lotta dreams where I can.

1. You know how to whistle
Just put you lips together and blow.

2. Yep. Quite well, too.
I can do an ear-splitting "dog call" sort, and an old school (40's) wide-vibrato musical whistle. I can also call thunder down from the heavens to smite my enemies. (that bit hurts my head, though)

4. Nope.
The little gap between my front teeth is just a hair to wide for me to be able to wistle any louder than my speaking voice.

5. Yes, in several different ways.
With fingers or without, through the teeth or with lips only.
