Tone-Deaf Whistler

Why is it I encounter the strangest behaviour at the gym?

After mentioning Mr. Ass-Display, I must now discuss Mr. Tone-Deaf Whistler.

For weeks I've had to put up with his attempts to whistle along with the Cantopop being piped into the locker room. The difference between what he hears and what he thinks is coming out of his mouth is astonishing.

It's one thing to whistle off key, but another to get the notes flat out wrong all the time. He doesn't even get a note right by accident.

How can anyone who speaks a tonal language get it so wrong? I've heard that some Chinese musicians are blessed with perfect pitch, but with this guy it's a wonder he can even communicate.

I bet he's unpopular at the office.
