Details: |
RESULTS?

Can't whistle: 4
Name: Rolyat Trebor Nhoj
Choice: Can't whistle
Comments: I think that it would be pretty easy to sleep
over the sound fo a guy who can't whistle trying. After I got
done catching up on sleep lost in college, I would teach him how
to whistle and I would then sing the blues over his whistling.
We'd tour the country when we got out of jail as The Whistling
Blues Combo and make lots and lots of euros!!! But then again, I
don't plan on going to jail anytime soon, so I don't think I will
have to worry about it anyway.

Comments: Class has given me countless hours of practice
towards completely ignoring human speech, so it won't take long
before question guy's voice gives up and dies a quiet and lonely
death. Weird airy-yet-wet-with-spit sounds would take some time
to get used to, and even after you get used to it there's still
the chance he'll spray some saliva on you - yuck!

Comments: The guy who seems like he's asking questions so
I can make up weird answers to them anyway. Or perhaps my
favorite smiling and nodding, even when he does ask a question.
Basically, much fun would be had by all.

Comments: (well first off...kevin thank you for the email
asking if I had already voted, no that was not me) but now you
have my vote! The guy with the whistle would be too much. At
least I could carry on a conversation with the other guy. I bet I
would start doing the voice thing too after a while...so it
wouldn't bother me.

Comments: cuz a guy who can't whistle can help it, he can
just not whistle, or I'll smack him up, a guy who raises his
voice at the end can't usually help it, so I'd feel pity.....I
think this logic works....
Name: Allison
Choice: Can't whistle
Comments: I can convince onlookers that the guy is
actually trying to kiss me, but because of my purity and
restraint, I won't allow him to. That's not so easy to do with
Question Guy. Besides, inappropriate vocal inflections are
annoying.

Comments: hey, you can always act like you're trying to
sleep, so then he may not talk as much.
Name: Clark
Who: your good buddy from CW
Choice: Can't whistle
Comments: is there any reason to explain???? it is not
even close! the raising voice guy would drive me absolutely
insane, b/c to be honest it would remind me of these dreams of
hell i used to have. It would remind me of the sounds the
tormented would make. pretty weird, i know, but i have had a
neato life. i could at least stick something in his or her mouth
to stop or at least stifle the attempting whistle

Comments: Last summer I visited Ontario, Canada. We spent
most of the time in Niagara Falls and Toronto. This IS relevant
to the question. The reason this is relevant is that everyone in
Canada?? raised their voice? not only at the end of sentences?
but at every pause within the sentence? They use question marks
like we use commas. The first time we encountered this was at the
Hershey store in Niagara Falls. We got a piece of fudge and paid
with American money. She took the money and said something to us
that had to do with money but there were SO MANY people in there
I couldn't hear, but it sure did sound like she was asking a
question, and I thought she was asking if we wanted Canadian or
American money, so I told my friend what I thought she asked, and
he told her he wanted American money and she said NO I was
TELLING you I could only give you Canadian change and this time
she didn't sound like she was asking a question, she sounded like
a huge B**** and we both got mad and didn't enjoy the fudge quite
as much as we should have. And can I also add that you could not
control the amount of fudge you received, it was just all sliced
how they wanted it. But anyway by the time we were in Toronto we
were used to the speech impediment. So maybe the guy in the
prison cell is just some guy from Toronto. And if I can adjust to
an entire nation (well at least a province) speaking like that,
one guy would be ok. I would have to beat the whistling guy, I
can't even stand normal whistling. Was that too much information?
