Oregon police respond to call about "jackass" whistling Semisonic's hit.

While we all occasionally fantasize about extra-judicially imprisoning annoying public whistlers, an Oregon woman at least tried to get one such whistlin’ fool arrested after he wouldn’t stop piping out Semisonic’s “Closing Time” near her house earlier this week. Be careful: just imagining “Closing Time” being whistled is enough to get it stuck in your brain, so don’t even try.

Oregon police responded to reports of a “jackass guy,” according to Captain Mark Herb. “It’s not clear if the caller would have been more or less upset if it was a different genre or whether it was just the talent lacking in the whistling,” Herb said, also confirming that a fight broke out after the man wouldn’t acquiesce to the woman’s request that he “shut up”.

The iron-willed whistler had moved on by the time the police made it to the woman’s house, but officers located him and asked him a few questions before sending him on his way. Yes, he was upset about being told to shut up, and yes, he was still whistling “Closing Time.” Whistle Man: the hero we deserve, but not the one we need.

Maybe the woman was just upset that the iconic last-call theme song wasn’t about that time of the night, but the miracle of childbirth? I was pretty upset when I found that out too.
