Aguathon, perhaps.
Initiation ceremonies need stamina… when my brother began work in the Far East he was required to go through a complex initiation which included imbibing flaming drinks. His co-iniatee made the fatal mistake of breathing in through his nose whilst drinking, thereby setting all his nose hairs alight and having to be hospitalised then repatriated.
I hope this one will not be as challenging…
So, whether enjoyable or hellish, what do you think the ideal initiation ceremony should include?
