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?

How to drive Parisans mad......On a trip to Paris in 1995, I teamed up with a couple of Canadians and an American that I met on the hovercraft (and if they are here, hello to the Salt Lake City Utah Kansas Mormons!) and we had four days of crazy adventures.
A few rituals we developed:
1/ We saw that the cross/don't cross characters on the streetlights looked like Gumby and Pokey. So, every time we tried to cross we would shout 'Pokey!' or 'Gumby!' before crossing.
2/ Every time we saw one of the Paris street cleaners in their funky green overalls we'd yell out "Happy St Patrick's Day!!" to them.
3/ After observing a drunk female dero at a Metro station, we'd always bend down to check the seats for puddles of piss before sitting.
Ah! Good times....
