I was interviewing for an administrator position on an online game that I play, and the interviewer asked about my hobbies. As soon as I mentioned unicycling, he jumped in with “Really? I was watching the discovery channel the other day and I saw this guy on a unicycle…”
I burned some bridges on the game when I was younger, so I don’t have much of a chance of getting the job. Even so, it seems that my vague association with the same sport as Kris Holm has improved my odds of getting hired.
Is this an isolated case of being in the right place at the right time, or does unicycling give you an edge in the real world?

p.s. Is there some secret handshake I should learn for preferential treatment at stores, restaurants, and government offices? Also, what level of riding ability is required before I can sign up for my swarms of scantily clad women?
Edge!? Of course it gives you an edge. It highly improves the level of cut that your jib posesses and simultaneously raises profficiency in brutal hand to hand combat. Did you ever wonder how you were going to single-handedly trap and eat a whole beartiger (a combination of a bear and a tiger!) with only a shoelace? UNICYCLING! Has there ever been a successful man who hasn’t unicycled? Alexander Chubley, Prince Manserfield III, and even the great Jonny Jonderson, ALL UNICYCLISTS. In conclusion, unicycle… or perish. Because in the real world, you don’t have time to think about a second wheel.
I’m gona make a special handshake and teach it to the Toronto Unicyclists, including Jeff and Ryan then they will pass it one when they go off to there crazy crazy comoetitions. It’ll give all unicyclists a dsicount at any store that another unicyclists works at. please make a list of places that a discount is available.
I will give you a discount at The Running Room (specifically whitby, and pickering in Ontario Canada) stop by, and I’ll give you 38% off. Pass it on.
So Zach, lets have a list of when you’re movie’s coming out, and who’ll be in it and where the filming’ll be. That’d rock. I want a copy.
As for the preference of unicyclists, it’s all real funny how things work. The economy is run by competitions. Whenever a new trick is learned, the economy increases, and the Dow Jones Industrial index soars whenever someone lands a 3’ hop, or some gap. The S&P 500 is run by Kris Holm himself! It’s all run by unicyclists, although there are some bikers in some of the low-level positions…

Counter-proof: Donald Rumsfeld is a unicyclist.

I heard this true story from an instructor at my former uni club:
Of all the applicants for a particular job two came out equally on
top. One had included in his c.v. that he had acquired level 1 to 3 of
unicycling. When asked whether this was a joke or really true, he
confirmed and gave this instructor’s name as a reference. The HR man
called the unicycling instructor which he happened to know, and was
given a colorful account of the personal characteristics required for
getting this far in unicycling, such as perseverance, willingness to
explore new ground, physical fitness.
Guess what, he got the job.

Are you serious about the 38% off for your fellow unicyclists? Because I’ve
been shopping around for a heart rate monitor for awhile, and if you could
hook me up with a discount that would be awesome. If you could email me and
let me know that would be great… thanks!
