I always saw one the ability to hail a cab with a sharp whistle as one of the signs of the quintessential male. Well I was walking out of my apartment yesterday needing a cab when one just happened to go by on the street. My hands were full so all I had to resort to was an attempt at hailing the cab with a whistle. I puckered my lips the custom way I do for the necessary whistle and let one rip. The cabbie slammed on his brakes and I was able to hop in. Needless to say, I’m pretty proud of myself for being able to do that. :)
