This one deserves a groan
Although he was a qualified meteorologist, Hopkins ran up a terrible record
of forecasting for the TV news program. He became something of a local joke
when a newspaper began keeping a record
of his predictions and showed that he'd been wrong almost three hundred
times in a single year.
That kind of notoriety was enough to get him fired.
He moved to another part of the country and applied for a similar job. One
blank on the job application called for the reason for leaving his previous
position.
Hopkins wrote, "The climate didn't agree with me."
