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."

Never had any...When I ended up at Uni, I thought it would be full of old traditions and bizarre rituals (Animal House is one of my favourite films...) but unfortunately it wasn't.
So instead we invented our own: Stealing the Dean's car park sign (whilst drunk), Monday Night Punch* Night (more drunkeness), compulsory 24-hour drinking during the summer/winter ball (drunkeness) ... can you see the pattern here?
Best bit was that we did pass them on to the next intake.
[edit: just for sprout that one - us at UCL were only jealous...]
*fiver in each and buy as much booze as possible. Pour into bucket. Drink. Disney Karaoke. No standing on the floor. etc. No wonder my liver is fucked.
