monopoly
this one is quite particular to my family.
as kids, my sisters, brother, cousin and i were very fond of playing monopoly(and in my cousin's case, stealing from the bank). whenever one of us would land on water works, everybody would shout "WA-TER-WORKS!", then bang on the table seven times. none of us know how or when this started, but we still do it now.

That's the stuff!
Ace story!

Hahahahahaha - love the fact that the origin is lost in the mists of time. This tradition MUST be kept alive.

i poked my friends sisters fanny with his radio aerial in a wardrobe
i'd never seen one before, i pulled the aerial out and said 'shall we poke it?'

he cried 'NO! THAT'S MY NEW RADIO!' i poked it anyway.
