Maybe this belongs in the Joke Forum, but there is simply too much truth in this. Here goes.....

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%? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: What makes up 100% in life 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%
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 then conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While hard work and knowledge will get you close and attitude will get you there, Bullshit and Ass kissing will put you over the top. [Big Grin]

How true.....Sounds like our corporations, doesn't it? [eyes]
