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."

I work on a BBC website in Wales.This week someone from Texas wrote in, asking: "My grandpa had a tradition I wanted to know if it is Welsh? He used to blacken our faces and place us under the bed on our birthdays." We've no idea if it stopped there or if grandpa is now in the slammer - as my mate pointed out, it sounds more "illegal in most countries" than "Welsh"...
