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'm at a certain college in Oxford, and every time the clocks go back, all the students, and anyone else who can get past security, walk around one of the quads, backwards, for an hour (2a.m. til 2 a.m.), in an anti-clockwise direction, spinning at the corners, and drinking port straight from the bottle, while wearing sub-fusc (suit, white shirt, white bow-tie, gown and mortarboard) to conserve the time-space momentum to stop the world from ending, because it's a tradition, of about 30 years.
Also I'm one of the landy wavers, but you also get waved at, and should wave, if you're in a 7 type car, as long as it's not a caterham or westfield, and in Subaru Imprezas.
