10. Refrain from whistling in Petrolia, Ontario, Canada
(This small town's ban on "yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling, or singing" was established to maintain peace and quiet, reflecting the community's desire for a calm and orderly environment.
While most noise bylaws are typically enforced at night to prevent disturbances while people sleep, Petrolia's regulation is unusual because it applies 24 hours a day.)
15. While in the UK, don't handle a salmon under suspicious circumstances
(This peculiar provision is part of the Salmon Act of 1986, established to combat illegal fishing and protect salmon populations. It requires individuals to demonstrate the lawful provenance of any salmon they possess, thereby helping to ensure that fish stocks are managed sustainably.)
