Whistling while your work is a staple of good, honest labor. It’s come to define entire economic models. But it’s not the only sound associated with normal routines. Humming while you eat is an important part of proper digestion, as long as it’s done with your mouth fully closed. Muttering while you commute creates a wall of sound that helps others. In a crowded train or bus, people will invariably get too close to you, but not if you’re blanketed by a string of unintelligible utterances, peppering your speech every six to fourteen seconds. It’s the buffer you need, not the buffer you deserve. Mimicking a bird while you drive is a productive way to avoid a string of obscenities lining your vehicle’s interior. It allows you to commune with nature, work on something beyond a new four-letter word you’ve been saving for just the right tailgater. It works with the windows down or the windows up. And it attracts new feathered acquaintances - friends is too strong – everywhere you go.
