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."

No too dissimilar from RedWines postbut every year on January 6th, at Haxey in north Lincolnshire a large crowd of men will gather to play the game of the Haxey Hood.
Basically, everyone gets pissed and tries to get the hood, a large leather baton, back to their favorite pub. Cue about 150 large sweaty drunkards falling on top of each other and crushing those at the bottom of the sway.
The event is lead by the Fool and his twelve boggins all dressed in red. The Fool apparently has the right to kiss any woman he chooses throughout the day. Huzzah for fools!
