Giving 100%

    From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

    a.. What Makes 100%?

    b.. What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

    c.. Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

    d.. We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.

    e.. How about achieving 103%?

    Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

    What does it take to achieve 100% in life? Let's do the math...

    If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

    Is represented as:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

    Then:

    H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K

    8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

    and

    K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

    11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

    But, A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

    1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

    And, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T

    21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

    BUT, look how far a** kissing will take you.

    A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G

    1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

    So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that: while

    Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close,

    It takes the Attitude to get you there;

    But if your boss wants more... it's time for some BS and a** Kissing.

    I dont mean to sound like a git, but it doesnt work, unless for some reason 'B' gets a value of 21 for bull sh*t :rolleyes:

    Good stuff :)

    Btw Pugs, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T only adds up to 101 according to those calculations.
    B = 2
    103 - 101 = 2.

    They forgot to include B obviously...

    B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T adds up to 82 actually.

    but good nonetheless. Of course he (the Joke teller) can just say that the B gets 21 cos its bullsh*t.. See thats how ya worm your way outta that one.

    I should write a book "The thing that ate the apple"

    you might want to re-check that, they forgot b in the calculation but it still equals 101. so it does infact add up to 103.
