    How to snap my fingers. At 24 years old only figured out how to a year ago.

        Explaining that in words is far to challenging. I ended up doing it by accident. But here is a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo3cKxlkQZc

          I followed this comment and reached all the way to trying to whistle. Nope, still can't. I did however almost faint. Sigh

            I can make a whistling sound if I hold it for several seconds. But I can not whistle any tune without losing the sound on the 2nd blow.

            I too am absolutely horrible at whistling, I cant seem to make any noise at all. I did get a distant dog to start barking every time I tried to whistle, but that may have been a coincidence.

              I can not whistle for weeks though. I'm even not whistling now.

              You're just not not whistling hard enough.

              There's only so much not whistling a man can do. If I not whistled any harder I'd create a vacuum and destroy the planet.
