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."

TraditionsIn my house its traditional every time you eat a slice of Mr Kiplings Granny cake to say "made with real Grannies".
Whenever me and my mates are driving on the North York moors its traditional to warn anyone getting out of the car (generally for a piss)to watch out for the panda bears. The story behind this is too long to recount.
Also during wimbledon its traditional for everyone in my house apart from my mum (who its designed to drive mad) to ask if Timbo Henbo is doing well at Wimbers. We then go on to refer to change every noun to a nounbo or nounbers. The evenings just fly by.
Finally, its traditional to at all times try to catch each other out with the following
"Dad?"
"What?"
"Stinks!" snigger
Edit: I also have a tradition of never giving the finger on the grounds its a nasty american import. I always use the V. Whenever I'm with someone who gives the finger I then feel compelled to lecture them on the history of the V sign (did you know it dates back to the battle of Agincourt in 1415? some say this is a myth but bollocks to them) at this point they generally give me the finger.
