No.....you're supposed to whistle past a Graveyard. You do it in two ways.
1- Go fast enough in your car to produce an audible whistle (usually 10-15 mph over limit). Confirming that you are one of the living.
2- Actually whistle with your lips. Again, confirming that you are one of the living.

Hello all,
I'm interested to hear what strange habits and superstitions you folks do before, during, or after your drives--for the sake of all-purpose good luck, anal retentivity, and/or the avoidance of being pulled over by coppers. It should be fascinating seeing what different rituals there are, and maybe finding out some of their origins, not to mention the surprise of discovering if someone shares that same action as another who has always prided themselves as being "unique" for doing it. I'm pretty sure my antics aren't original, but I do what I do--and with that, I shall start...

Just kidding. I seriously have no walking antics. None what-so-ever.
I knew this would happen and I think some of you are misunderstanding me. It's not like all those situations happen all in one twenty minute drive to work or something. Sheesh, please give me some credit...I'm not that crazy. (^_^) I was just thinking about all the things I find myself doing and mentioned them all at once. While I agree that the thought of all the hand things going all at once must paint a pretty ridiculous picture in many people's minds, I can assure all of you that in any given week I might only do one or two of them at most. I should have used more discretion and clarification from the start. Sorry about that.
