Reason #86

He is delightfully informative, as in this email:

[first sentence deleted]

You have to fold the tip of it over onto itself, and place the first two fingers of each hand on the underside (which is now facing upwards). Only the tips of your fingers actually need to be in your mouth, and ideally you shouldn't be touching any other part of your tongue apart from the upturned side. The other two fingers of each hand will be out of the way, pointing downwards, so that your hands are forming a kind of triangle. Then you just basically blow really hard, very intensely and as fast as possible, as though you were whistling normally, trying to put your lips in the position you would put them to whistle if you didn't have your fingers in your mouth.

If you can't fold your tongue in the way you need to, you won't be able to do this. And it's not something you can be taught. It's genetic.

Sorry and you're welcome,
Jonny.

PS. It occurs to me how outrageously dirty this email would seem if you start reading at the second sentence. It won't have occured to you, of course, because you're innocent and sweet.
