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."

Traditions are contagiousMy mate Rob always shouts "door!" when the phone rings, and "phone!" when someone knocks on a door. And now I've started doing it.
Also my ex used to do the holding cigar(ette)s in a cupped hand for the same reason....(to avoid being spotted by snipers whilst doing stag at night) despite having done no military service, he has pretensions of having been an officer in the Royal Marine commandos.
Also....... I have to spit out the nut fron ferrero rocher chocolates (I don't like nuts, see), wrap it in the gold foil, making sure the sticker is on top, and putting it back in the brown casey thing, so it looks like a tiny one.
