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."

When my high school band...went on away trips, we had two traditions I could think of (among many, many more). First off, we had to be completely silent for the last fifteen minutes of the trip.
Also, when we crossed railroad tracks, we would touch a screw, touch something red (our school color) and lift our feet off the floor.
One year, I was put in charge of one of the buses. On one trip, I saw railroad tracks coming up very fast, too fast to clearly tell everyone, so I yelled to everybody, "SCREW TIME!" I think most people missed it from laughing.
