Although Ralph was a qualified meteorologist, he ran up
a terrible record of forecasting for the TV news program.
He became something of a local joke when a newspaper
started keeping a record of his predictions and showed
that he’d been wrong about 80% of the year. That sort of
notoriety was enough to get him fired. Ralph moved across
country and applied for a weather forecasting job. The job
application form asked for the reason for leaving his previous
position. Ralph wrote, “The climate didn’t agree with me.”
