How do you whistle loudly without using your fingers?

fancymover @fancymover (151) • India 31 Oct 08

I don't know how to whistle. But if someone is doing the same, then I will try to learn from them. But until now, I was always a loser. Do you know how to whistle. If yes, How.

Quillspirit What I want to know is, how to whistle loudly USING your fingers. Never could figure it out. My whistle is pathetic, lol.

Quillspirit Beautiful country. Lots of mountains and forests... sheep grazing land, and vineyards. I've toured most of North Island, from Auckland South, on the East side. It is a lot like my home state, Oregon. The people are great, too.

Quillspirit I've never been able to use those "split" egonomic keyboards, but I found the Microsoft comfort curve wireless 3000, and been stuck on it since. It's got kind of a gentle wave design to it... so yeah, my props to MS for the design.
