Weekend Challenge: Laws say what now??

[flipflop-diva.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is surviving. We all know there is a lot of not-so-fun or funny stuff going on in the world today, so in order to have a little bit of light-heartedness, for this weekend's challenge, I have a list of 17 laws that are very odd and kind of funny.

So pick a number or two or three from 1 to 17, and I will share with you these oddities, in the hopes that something will inspire you.

I'm going to be out for most of Saturday, so I'm going to give you till the end of Friday anywhere in the world to write at least 300 words or make at least 2 icons or an equivalent. I will then reward you with a drabble, an icon, words in a WIP or create a strange law in your honor that no one will have to follow :)

You got it! Good luck with the words and the time!

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.)
