Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Byron; People normally (used to) whistle when they were feeling pleasantly content and at ease with their worlds. A man going to, doing, or coming home from a job he was happy in would whistle. Whistling summed up that 'Not a care in the world' feeling. That's why no one whistles any more. Except, perhaps, in the marbled halls of parliament ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
