I was working in a scrap yard in Southern England during summer
vacation at engineering university. I used to work repairing construction
equipment.
One afternoon, I was taking apart a piling hammer that had some
very large bolts holding it together. One of the nuts had corroded
on to the bolt; to free it I started heating the nut with an oxy-acetylene
torch.
As I was doing this, one of the dimmest apprentices I have ever
known came along. He asked me what I was doing. I patiently explained
that if I heated the nut it would grow larger and release its grip
on the bolt so I could then remove it.
"So things get larger when they get hot, do they?" he
asked.
Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind (I don't know from where.)
"Yes," I said, "that's why days are longer in summer
and shorter in winter."
There was a long pause then his face cleared.

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
three hundred times in a single year. That kind of notoriety was
enough to get him fired.
He moved to another part of the country and applied for a similar
job.
One blank on the job application called for the reason for leaving
his previous position. Hopkins wrote, "The climate didn't
