When you stop to think about it, most of the silly traditions people
follow involve things that they do only because they have done it for as
long as they can remember, and the generations of people before them
did the same. Sometimes, the meaning of the tradition even becomes
forgotten in the following of traditions, and, not so unlike lemmings,
people just follow along, teaching their children to do what they have
always done. Some of these traditions, involving automobiles, are just
as silly as anything else.
