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."

ROADKILL..!!Another car game - when out on country drives down here in Aus we used to play a game that you would shout out ROADKILL! the moment you saw a dead animal beside (or on) the road and claim a point score according to the animal's size..... or portion of it's remians.
Classic scoring would be along the lines of 1 point for a bird, 2 for a cat, 3 for a dog, 4 for a sheep, 5 for an emu 10 for a 'roo, 15 for a horse and 20 for a cow... (Cows and horses are rarely seen dead on the roads, thankfully).
As a bonus, you would double your ponts per animal that YOU hit if you were driving.
(little know fact - Australia is the only country in the world where it is leagal to EAT the animals on it's national emblem. Ours is teh emu and kangaroo)
