Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

The males in my family have an on going competitionto see if anyone can say "Ribbit Rabbit Robbit Rough" all in one burp, it's been done many times but the champion is my uncle who can hold the "rough" note for a fair few seconds.

my Granddadwould always say "baa baa black sheep" - no matter how short the burp. IIRC he once managed the "have you any wool" part as well.
