MORE than 100%??

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:


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 so....


K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%


A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%


But look here......

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T = 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

And look how far ass 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 conclude with mathematical certainty that, while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the ******** and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Hehe, yeah that's a good one. We have used that as a teaching tool for many years now. It's very funny and an excellent way of gettign a message across to our Students.

My boss gave a small laugh, but did not see the humor I did. Guess it hit too close to home

Now that's what I call a mathematical "reality check".
