Heard a guy whistling at the airport the other day. Americans used to whistle a lot more especially in movies. Humphrey Bogart, Jimmy Cagney, Jimmy Stewart were all whistlers and it even seemed particularly masculine.
I don’t know when whistling stopped or why. Was it custom that died out because others grew annoyed at the whistle guy and punched him periodically, or was it because of something much more sinister? Remember, in the world of PC-eople they must always find “oppressors” so they have an enemy to , well, oppress!

These are trained professionals. There is though one major flaw in their reasoning. The reason why these guys got good at what they’ re demo-ing, is only BECAUSE THEY TRIED IT AT HOME!

In honor of the upcoming baseball playoffs let me ask a question. Have you ever noticed that when humans win an event, whether it’s a race or tennis match, they thrust their arms in the air? Have you ever wondered why? No?
