Raisin Monday Foam Fight! Weird Wonderful Tradition

A student from St Andrews University takes part in a foam fight as part of the traditional Raisin Monday celebrations in St Andrews, Scotland November 22, 2010. The tradition dates back to the early days of the university when new students would give senior students a pound (0.45kg) of raisins in gratitude for their help in adapting to university life, in exchange for a receipt written in Latin. Failure to produce such a receipt could result in a dousing in the local fountain. Nowadays the raisins have been replaced with a bottle of wine and the dousing with foam.
