How Traditions are Created
A new camp Commander was appointed and while inspecting the place,
he saw 2 soldiers guarding a bench.
He went over there and asked why do they guard it.
"We don't know, the last Commander told us to do so, and so we did.
It's some sort of Regimental tradition!!"
He searched for the last Commanders phone number and called him to ask why he did want the guards on this particular bench.
"I don't know, the previous Commander had the guards on the bench, and I kept up the tradition"
Going back another 3 Commanders, he found a now 100 year old retired General.
"Excuse me Sir, I'm now CO of your camp you commanded 60 years ago. I've found 2 men assigned to guard a bench. Could you please tell me more about the bench?"
"WHAT, is the paint still wet????"To grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Having served, the sad part is that it is funny because it more than likely actually happened!

Then there was the university that couldn't get the grass to grow on a quadrangle because students ignored the 'Please keep off the grass' signs. They replaced the signs with ones that read 'It is a tradition that students do not walk on this quadrangle. This tradition starts today."

not a joke this one .. headmaster of my bil school about 1960 (northern ireland) addressed the assembly and said "henceforth it will be tradition to sing gaudeamus igitur at assembly" ... when he visited the school as an old boy 6 years ago ... it was duly sung at assembly, being a tradition
regards david
