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?

applysome pressure reminded me...
years ago, someone bought us a big tin of quality street.
after chocs had gone, I crimped the top of the tin at strategic places to serve as a big-fook-off ashtray.
It became a ritual for my *family* of stoners and wild-eyed-chemical-induced brethren to not leave the house of a Sunday until said ashtray was full to the brim of cigarette ends.
I had a terrible habit of chain smoking when under the influence of certain powders - but I was very good at it! And smokes were cheaper under the tories and drugs were better!
