100%

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

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103 %? Here is a little math that might prove helpful.



What makes life 100%?

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%.



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%



So it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, Attitude will get you there, and Bull**** will take you over the top.

But 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 the next time someone asks you to give more than 100%, you know what is required of you.

How about mushroom as in kept in the dark like one.

M U S H R O O M
13 21 19 8 18 15 15 13

= 122%

Combine that with the aforementioned B U L L S H I T as in kept in the dark like a mushroom and fed that and you get a whopping 225%

Now that is the level of pure geniusness.
