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."

Double Entendre spottingEvery time my housemate or I hear something that could be considered "a bit rude", we have to say either "Euuuuuooogh" in the manner of Kenneth Williams or "Ooooph!" in the manner of Frankie Howerd:
"It's very long, isn't it?" - "Euuuuogh!"
"Is Carl up?" - "Oooph!"
"How long have you been doing it?" - "Euuuuogh!"
If something doesn't sound rude to start with, the same effect can be gained by rephrasing the sentence to sound rude:
"It's the flag of the United Arab Emirates" - "I wouldn't mind uniting her Arab Emirates!"
"There's a medal on the floor." - "I wouldn't mind having a meddle on the floor with her!"
If neither of the above can be applied, one must resort to the use of "... in the nude!.... Twice!" to lend rudeness to any sentence.
It passes the time.
