Maths Lesson

[Jason]

This equation should be taught in all math classes!

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

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

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-*-*-*-*

2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far *** kissing will take you.

*-*-*-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 bull**** and *** kissing that will put you over the top.

My sincere aplogies if this goes against the forums etiquette, but I have edited out all the profanity (I think).

I'll drink to that.

Oh boy, now I'm mad! According to your math I've been giving over 100% for decades and it's gotten me nowhere!

That's great!

Way to much truth in this.
