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."

Weird VillageMy ex girlfriend used to live in a village in Cheshire where every spring they got all the kids of a certain age to dress up as crow's and dance around in some bizarre paganish ritual.
Its the sort of place without a through road, so you don't have to go there unless you really need to, so even though I lived about 5 miles away I used to get looked at like I was from Mars.
They still do it now I think, but the kids have knocked it on the head so now its the adults that dress up instead, its getting a bit like the Whicker Man but without ritual slaughter (i think).
