When someone asks “If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make fog horns out of?” resist the urge to groan or smack them or whatever else you might feel compelled to do.
Instead explain that they’ve got it all wrong. That while tin whistles might be made of the stuff, in reality they are so named because they are to signal to people of the presence of tin and if they move away from the sound they can avoid it.
That’ll stop them in their tracks, let me tell you.
