New Weatherman

Although he was a qualified meteorologist, Hopkins ran up a terrible record of forecasting for the TV news. 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 300 times in a single year. That kind of notoriety was enough to get him fired.

He moved to another part of the country and the application asked for the reason for leaving his previous position.

Hopkins wrote, "The climate didn't agree with me."
