Giving 110%

[DaveJ]

*popular email re-print*

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 maths 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 * T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%



So, it stands to reason that hardwork and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bull**** will put you over the top.

And look how far

A $ $ K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%

will take you.

So we must use violence to get to the top!? Its so simple now!!!

[THEthief]

LOL, I like that one, DaveJ!! :)

[DKSM]

Dave, see you were following my example. ;)

[DaveJ]

The very wise tdc151 pointed out elsewhere that

WHO YOU KNOW

is 170%.


Speaks volumes, eh?

[dago]

[THEthief]

Yea, lol!! :)

[Solange]

Nah, he didn't make it up - it's a pretty popular email forward. :)

[DaveJ]

Re-read it.
All your answers are there.

[mulder]

Yes Dave....but we all know that humans are Prone to mistakes....

And if you should happen to kiss the wrong *ss....well, That would leave a Bad taste in your mouth...err....so to speak.:p

[dago]

lol...i have re-read it...sorry...itz quite good though...i wonder who made it up..

[LARAMANIAC]

ROFLMAO - Fantastic!!!!!!!:p

[DKSM]

Ohh wait, I forgot to tell you what I thought of it.

HILARIOUS!

CONNECTIONS
3 15 14 14 5 3 20 9 14 15 19 = 131%

[MountainDewNut]

ROTFL!

[Data]

So I guess a moderator would give 109%.......

[dago]

good guess... u know wotz funny...admin only put in 42% effort...and they get paid!

[AmO]

very funny dave j i enjoyed it, thanks for share.. :D

[Rose662]

ROTFL!!

:D

[MountainDewNut]

The members only give 75%! come on, we can do better than that.

[DaveJ]

Sadly, SPAMMERS give 104%......

[purple rain]

:D
fantastic
and so-oo--ooo true

[Willard the Fierce Knight]

Us JUNIOR MEMBERS give 162% to become members! Then we can slack off and give only 75%. :D

[The Void•]

It depends on whether or not the admin wants to spell out his job title, it varies day to day.

admin was 1 4 13 9 14 = 41%
but administrator is 1 4 13 9 14 9 19 20 18 1 20 15 18 = 161%

Same with the mods
mod is 13 15 4 = 32%
where moderator is 13 15 4 5 18 1 20 15 18 = 109%


Sadly, most of the time they're too lazy to spell out their titles, preferring the abbreviations... ;)

[*m*]

Actually your way makes more sense mathematically.

[Kat]

I already posted my idea to give 110% somewhere else, but alas, I shall do it here as well:


SLEEPING YOUR WAY TO THE TOP:

19 12 5 5 16 9 14 26 1 25 20 15 20 8 5 20 15 16=251%

much more effective and fun if you know the right people ;)

[Creamy_Goodness]

Exactly why im for more females in the workplace!

[Goku Noble Warrior]

That was great, *forwards that on too some friends*

[The Mole]

THE MOLE=78% :(

Always thought I fell short...:(

:p :eek: :eek: :eek:

[LARAMANIAC]

I have to agree with Kat -

The Casting Couch = 153%

20 8 5 3 1 19 20 9 14 7 3 15 21 8 :p

Sorry to bring this back, but

I seem to count 23 letters, but only 19 numbers,

The correct calculation, heck even some of your numbers that were not missing were wrong like making the letter Y 26, its number 25, z is 26 plus some other mix-ups. You sure you’re a secretary like your profile says?

SLEEPING YOUR WAY TO THE TOP:

19 12 5 5 16 9 14 7/ 25 15 21 18/ 23 1 25/ 20 15/ 20 8 5/ 20 15 16 = 332%


Edit: Laramaniac, yours is missing 1 number as well, I'm to lazy to look at the others for correctness and edit any more totals.
