Does anyone know what a nose flute is? Can any of you play one?

Question

...A nose flute is a kid's toy, a kind of very worthless, mickey-mouse thing, and it can be very funny. It is a small piece of plastic, sort of circular in shape, and makes a sound like a whistle. It is played by holding it against your nose and mouth - your mouth acts as a resonator, but you breath through your nose.
...I have accompanied myself with guitar, and I admit it is hard to keep from laughing.
...There are several nose flute accessories and extras one can buy:
*--marching attachments (aka rubber bands)
*--hard shell case (aka empty large paper clip box)
*--gig bag (aka pencil case)
*--nose flute kit (called the Amazing Nose Flute - includes the nose flute, a small booklet, song cards, and a music holder)
*--a CD called "Mama Don't Allow No Nose Flute Playin' Around Here" - available on Amazon.com
...If you Google nose flutes, you will find several sites, that include purchasing places and also the history of the nose flute.
...Are they any nose floutists there?

...I was first introduced to nose flutes in a music store near my house, at about age 16. Through the years, I have gathered various facts, etc, re: nose flutes. I share them with you now, and you can use them if you want.
I do not use these things to be disgust people, but just for laughs. It usually produces many laughs – by myself and others, who cannot believe such a thing exists, or that people give serious time to something so ridiculous.
