Giving more than 100% (another email)

I suspect that you will see this going around if you haven’t already, but it is a doper type of joke…

Ever wonder about those 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’s a little math that might prove helpful.

What makes life 100%?

If the alphabet is represented this way:



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  
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%

So, it stands to reason that hand work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.

“Hand work” gets me close too but I’d rather not say what puts me over the top… :wink:
