100%

[Harry Bloomfield]

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%.


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%

And,

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 conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and
Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, its the
Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

Now you know why some people are where they are!

The Puma helicopter, of which I have had a passing acquaintance in the past, had it's engine RPM calibrated by %, rather than the 'imperial' RPMs. The engines had a max contingency rating of 103% for 2 minutes. Just saying...

I lost my job as an exam marker. I was quite annoyed as I always gave 110%.
