Weird TraditionsTalking with a friend yesterday about school dinners, she suddenly said, "We had to march into the dining room behind the School Band... except on Thursdays." Since all of us were now staring, she qualified this with, "...on Thursdays there was no wind section. It was a tradition."
What weird stuff have you been made to do "because it's a tradition."

In honour of something or otherOnce a year the whole school would line up in swimming gear, then one at a time we would run round the school grounds, jump in the pool and swim a length (or be dragged along by a pole, if you couldn't swim), then climb out of the pool, run up a hill back to where we started, and then stand around shivering to death until everyone had finished.
No, I don't know why. I never dared ask.
