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."

It's a tradition, honestWhile growing up in the Northeast of England we had a family in the street who were reputed to have 'lops'. In order not to catch these 'lops' it was traditional to hold your breath as you walked past the house. Just to reinforce this sad tradition we renamed the children of the family to empasise just how 'loppy' they were:
James - Germ
Coreen - Crawleen
Louise - Louse
Patricia - Morticia
Denise - Disease.
The tradition worked. To this day I have never caught lops.
It's a mystery.
