In West Virginia, it’s illegal to whistle underwater, a statute that remains on the books despite its rarity in enforcement. The origins of this peculiar law are unclear, but it adds to the state’s collection of unusual regulations. For instance, in Alderson, it’s prohibited to walk a lion, tiger, or leopard, even on a leash. Similarly, in Huntington, firemen are not allowed to whistle or flirt at any woman passing a firehouse (weirdfacts.com).
