Family codes and rituals
Freddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

my sister
tried to intruduce a game where if you spot a yellow car you get to punch the other person.
she stopped after i modified the rules slightly, basically i would shout out the make and model of any passing car and punch her thus ensuring that she got fed up of her little game quickly

My friends' daughters play that
only it's with the Volkswagen Beetle as the subject. I never knew a four-year-old could punch that hard before.

Yellow car
is a well established game around where I live...
one loses patience with it rather fast if you live across the road from someone with a yellow car though (as I do >.<)

Dutch Car
We got bored with yellow car pretty quickly so we progressed to Dutch car (they have yellow number plates on the front) we are now on to Benelux car - a bit more difficult.
As a one off, I was driving to London from Brighton with a couple of mates and they were unfamiliar with the Dutch Car concept. So for a one day wonder, and spotting a VW Camper, the game was set. We would punch upon siting a VW Camper. Unfortunately, neither of us were aware that that was the first of hundreds (literally) en route to some sort of rally. With punches being thrown left right and centre. The usual driver immune rule was thrown out the window and the fight got dirty very quickly. The end result was us in a layby having a full blown fight. In front of a burger van.
We don't talk about that day!

We had the same...
But with Mini's, hence "Mini Digs"
If you said "No backs" then no-one could get you back, easy enough!
However, it got vicious whenever we were on our way to Southport, you pass a mini garage with about 40 on the forecourt.
At that point we decided the Mini's have to have actually been bought. The vote was a very slow process, as no-one could lift their arms!

Yellow Car
Rules are, if you see a yellow car and shout yellow car, you get to punch the last person to shout it. If you see a yellow mini, you get to punch and pinch the other person. And if you see a yellow smart car, you get to beat the shit out of them! oh, and when your in another country you have to say it in their language. had loadsa fun playing voiture jaune in paris, but french people must have thought we were a little crazy just randomly shouting yellow car and carrying on our conversation in english

hehe hehe
This has just reminded me of a similar game an ex used to play.
If you saw a car registration that made a word or had 2 same letters or numbers together you would yell it out and punch their arm.
Double D, punch, double 4 punch.
First time I met his parents was when they were taking us to a party.
I saw a car with A55.
His dad nearly crashed the car when I suddenly yelled ass and punched his sons arm.
Took some explaining it was a game and i wasnt a psycho
