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)
