Family codes and ritualsFreddy 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?

FartsDespite being in my 40s, with an older sister and a much older father. Nobody in my family has ever, ever, heard my mother fart.
She just raises here eyebrows when we (frequently) raise the matter and says "Ladies don't break wind".
If this is truly case, when she inevitably shuffles off this mortal coil (in many many years insh'allah) and is cremanted as is her wish, we're looking at one massive methane fireball.
Watch the papers for news of a crematorium being blown sky high and reports of the survivors laughing like drains as they're carted off to the burns ward.

We are Ladies and we don't break wind!My wife's Aunty Mary always insisted that ladies didn't fart.
However when we took her on holiday to Turkey at the grand old age of 83 she trumped along merrily with the rest of us!
I think one's sphincter loses some of its elasticity in old age! You may hear your mother fart yet!!
