Not trying hard enough (humour)

[martinwoolwich]

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:

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%

So,

It stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close,
attitude will get you there, and bullshit will put 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%

Clearly you work for the same company as me - you must do, as you seem to understand so well what it takes to get on.

Ass?

Why would you want to kiss a donkey; unless of course you are an American and therefore can´t spell our good old-fashioned anglo-saxon four letter words.
