   One of my earliest real jobs while I was still in school was at a grocery   
   store and I'd ridden in on my motorcycle to apply for the job.   
      
   The manager looked over my application (no resume to speak of) and   
   said, I see that you ride a motorcycle.. What happens when it rains?   
      
   I replied, I get wet..  I then added that I would have a car to use   
   by the time winter got here so I planned to keep the job.   
      
   Years later he told me that my comment about getting wet was what   
   got me the job. There were apparently a lot of applicants for   
   the opening who lived a lot closer to the store than where I   
   was (16 miles away) but he figured I sounded like the type of   
   person who would suffer almost anything to make it into work,   
   and he wasn't wrong..  Flooded roads, freezing rain, driving snow,   
   I always made it in..  B)
