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."

Anyone ever heard of the straw bear??Where i live out in the sticks in a funky town named Whittlesey, we have an annual tradition (in the lovely summer month of January ffs) for a bloke and a kid to wear a complete straw suit and get led from one end of the town to the other by an old guy. This isn't the only fun, oh no, we have morris dancing, maypole dancing and generally people making prats out of themselves wiv their face painted black or red. Apparently it attracts people from 'all over the world' - in other words some Germans accidentally had the misfortune of ending up her once. Upon trying at least to join in with this years festivities by going to the pub, we found this to be impossible as they were overflowing with grannies and morris dancers :(
P.s on the Sunday (the main day is Saturday) they burn the straw suits publicly.
and no sadly, the cunts aren't still in them.
