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."

Back in the days of school trips...We would frequently travel in trains to some far-off ddestinations in t'country, so we made it our mission to annoy the other passengers/train staff/our teachers as much as possible. Especially when the idiots decided to put the large school party in Carriage B - 'The Quiet Carriage.' Fun involved drawing penises on the glass when it misted up, winking at girls as they went into the toilets, haggling in the buffet car over a Mars Bar, and saying 'I'll be back' in my best Arnie voice when the guy behind the counter wouldn't budge from 40p. My favourite, though, was pointing and shouting 'Rape!' at the top of my voice whenever we passed a field of said crop.
A more recent one is to play the 'Penis Synonym (sp?) Game' in lessons when bored, obviously thinking up as many synonyms for penis as possible. The fun is that, if at inappropriate, quiet moments in the lesson you were to think up another, you were to announce it rather louder than you intended.
Teacher: 'Ok, you have five minutes to complete the translation.'
Me: 'Ah, Spam Javelin*! How could I forget?!'
For those who are interested:
