Ha.. that reminded me of my first longer term job when I was still in
high school at a grocery store. I had a summer job welding at a steel
plant and one day while I was changing a welding rod so had ahold of
it, lighting hit the high tension wires outside and blew out every
electric motor in the plant and knocked me right off my feet..

That cost me my job since they had to shut the place down for too
long for me to go back so when I saw the help wanted sign up in the
grocery store I asked about it. I filled out the application and
then the store manager came out to talk to me immediately.

He looked at how I was dressed and said, I can see you ride a motorcycle.
Whay happens when it rains? "I get wet.." I answered..
He seemed happy enough with that answer but as I was leaving he said
to me, you're going to need a white shirt, black pants (not leather)
and get your hair cut.. I ended up working for that company both part
time when in school and full time later for about 7 years.
