I was once sitting on the flight deck in the middle of a heavy downpour while the ship weather radio was saying it was clear and beautiful outside. I radioed the weather guessers and simply asked them if they had looked outside.

Several hours later the guy in charge of the weather guessers tracked me down and griped at me because I "embarrassed" them. When I replied that if they just looked outside and updated their tape they could avoid such embarrassment he called me a nasty name and left. I guess they get touchy about being wrong all the time.



I was once driving by the radio station I had on the radio when the weatherman came on and said that there was a 10% chance of rain..........Correction, make that a 100% chance of rain." It was actually raining at the time and I figured that he had looked out the window.
