Weird Traditions
Talking 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."

some the same, some different
they might not be different, i didnt finish reading all the previous posts
1. the pinch and punch for the first day of the month thing, also a flick in the ear for being so queer and a punch and a kick for being so quick, but if you said "white rocks" before anyone got you you were immune til next month
2. there is a girl and boy side of the backseat of the car (girls on the left, boys on the right - in righthand drive cars anyway)
3. when drunkenly playing around-the-world (darts) all numbers become -ses. as in oneses, twoses, threeses etc
4. punch buggy games, though when simple "punch buggy, no returns" accompanied with the punch was to obvious, it morphed into "punch buggy, what colour is it" followed by punching until the punchee gets the right colour (yellow becomes canary, red becomes vermillion etc)
the rest might just be me:
5. when the only person sleeping on a bunk bed set, you *have* to sleep on the top bunk so as to easily keep an eye on the empty bottom bunk
6. when someone makes a pun you must shout PUN! loudly at them in congratulations
7. burgers have to be eaten with the seeded side of the bun up. if someone is eating their burger upside-down, right it for them
ooh i think this is the first time ive had any length to apologise for
