How to give "103%"

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%

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, but
bullshit will put you over the top.

And look how far

A S S K I S S I N G will take you.

1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%

Scary, isn't it?

waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much free time on your hands.

So what'd you think of The Nightmare Before Christmas?

Loved it. And that was my joke of the day email - not me.
