whistling for anyone not in the know, was a centuries old communication device between sailors for moving rigging. Different whistles could be mean the difference between life and death if your head gets in the way. Sailors also served as crew on theatrical shows and used their whistle signals to move heavy sets, also a life or death situation when you're in the wrong spot. You still can't whistle back stage, too many superstitious folks.
