    I have never been able to whistle in my entire lifetime. People have tried to teach, tell, or show me how and I have never been able to do it. What about you?

    I can whistle, but I have never figured out how people whistle really loud. I must have been shown 100 times. Can't do it.

    I can't think of anything right now. When I was a kid I couldn't whistle, and everyone tried to teach me. I eventually figured it out on my own, and I've been whistling ever since.

    Blow bubbles with bubble gum.

    I never could chew gum and play baseball at the same time either, but for the record I can walk and chew gum.

    Not that it's all that simple really, but I can't even BEGIN to tie a cherry stem in a knot with my teeth. Couldn't do it if a gun were to my head.

    Wow. I guess I'm not the only one. The training wheels just never came off my bike as a child and I never learned how to ride without them.

    I cant whistle loud at all. Sometimes i try but it just doesnt work.

    When i was around 5 the only way i could blow a bubble was if i put the gum on my lips and then blew.

    I learned quickly after that.

    Whistling just using your mouth is impossible for me but I don't see how people do it using their fingers either.

    This probably isn't so simple but I couldn't get up on the knee board being pulled from behind a ski boat. Of course, I only tried it the one time but after several times of wiping out trying to get in position and pull the strap over my knees...I gave up. I would start to get there but I would always lose my balance and fly off. Sometimes I would keep holding the rope and be dragged through the water. lol. I kept thinking the guy driving the ski boat was accelerating too quickly and sabatoging me not giving me enough time to get up. So, I blame him. Is there a way to start off already in position? Ah...I dunno. I was never a very good surfer, either, but I could do it and did it regularly in high school but on Galveston waves so...blah. lol
