My grandmother used to amuse us grandchildren by blowing into this slide whistle and manipulating its pitch-changing dealie at the end. Some say we were easily-entertained dumb kids, but I'm sure her comical stylings and prowess with this most subtle of musical instruments are responsible for my brilliant sense of humor, making me the S.J. Perelman of Flickr (in addition to the dollar store guy).
Now here's some fun — and what's more, it's true: When I was a teenager, I saw the slide whistle by her telephone and I asked what it was doing there. She told me she'd been getting "inappropriate calls" — heavy breathing and the like. (This was the 1980s when somehow this sort of thing was just an annoyance to an elderly woman living alone and not something to be terrified by. Simpler times, folks. I guess.)
Anyway, she said when she gets one of those calls, she blows into phone with the slide whistle. As you would, I found this hysterical and I told her I hoped it wasn't a circus clown on the other end or she might be encouraging him.

3-year-old grandson Noah with his creation -- a road for the little cars made of the xylophone and a carwash made from the hanging chimes. He doesn't always like his picture taken but was willing in this case. :-)
