That one reminds me of an Army tradition: "Short Boots." In a lot of units (particularly Infantry units), it's a tradition, the night before you ETS (leave the Army) to take the boots you used the most, tie them together by the bootlaces, spray paint them bright orange, then throw them over the the nearest electrical or phone wires to the unit. Everyone knows who did it, no one gets in trouble for it.
