We are a unique combo, Mrs. That Dan Guy and I. She can't snap her fingers, and I can't whistle. By contrast, I can snap the fingers on BOTH my hands, while she can whistling like a steaming kettle on a hot stovetop.
So, the biggest problem I can see with this information is that there are some jobs I probably wouldn't qualify to work in, as a result of my inability to whistle:
1) Lookout for bank robbers - without a whistle to alert my colleagues of approaching law enforcement, I would be finding new accomplices every other week. Scratch this one off my list.
2) Mom on a working ranch - I suppose I could use a bell or something, but don't most whistle for the workers to come to lunch?
3) Mine worker - don't all of them whistle as they work??
4) Lothario at beach, or construction site - this has to be the oldest whistling situation to find oneself in, whistling at pretty girls walking by. My efforts just sound like an asthmatic donkey...
5) Dog caller - again, perhaps other oral commands might replace a sharp whistle to prompt Rover's return - but amongst all his dog pals, they would probably have a laugh riot over my human whistling shortcomings...
Yessir, I can't whistle. Oh snap!
Later....

Yup, it is true. All I know is I never had to worry about # 4. That means your snapless ways give me great peace of mind.

Where's my inhaler??
