    Giving 100% and more

    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-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 & Knowledge will get you close, & Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit & Ass kissing that will put you over the top

    Watch that attitude Idris. You don't want to force yourself into the 118% category to make up ground. You might have to move a block or so west if that happens.
    It's not so much the model year, it's the high mileage or meterage to keep the youth of Canada happy

    flawed.
    H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98

    Since 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 = 351
    We get:
    (98/351)*100 = 29.92%

    That's funny, dood.

    I thought you were talking about anaerobic threshold...

    Meh, it is possible to give 110% - you're just giving 10% more than the last time you did the activity... [/specia, just-woken-up, logic]

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?
