Do you get lists of jokes emailed to you? I do. Fortunately I don't get so many that it becomes a pain in the ass. It's occurred to me that I never, repeat never, pass them on.

So here's one I got the other day.

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over
100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these
questions:

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%
Boy, this is starting to sound like a Covey seminar, BUT, read on!!

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T !
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, 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, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard
work and knowledge will get you close, and, Attitude will get you
there, Bullshit and Ass kissing will put you over the top.

Instead of forwarding it to everyone on my address list, I'll put it here so everyone can see it. By the way, I have no idea what a 'Covey seminar' is.
