Giving More than 100 Percent
We’ve all been to meetings where someone’s asked for more than 100 percent. And haven’t you ever wondered about those in attendance who claim they’re already giving more than 100 percent? How is that even possible?
Well, it apparently can be done! Here’s the formula for certain success in over achievement:
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%
and
A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%
But
B U L L S H I T
2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103%
So it stands to reason that if hard work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there, it takes old fashioned bullshit to put you over the top.
And just look how far
A S S K I S S I N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%
will take you!

Old but good stuff. And there is remarkably, sadly, some truth to it.
Reminds me of when I was a kid. When double daring wasn't enough, there was always some kid who would "gazillion-catrillion-quadrillion-bazillion dare you!"
And you NEVER turned down THAT kind of dare!
Sad but true.
Pretty common practice in the military. I guess it is everywhere, but especially the military. Pretty funny though. I wonder how someone came up with the concept. Must of had too much time on his hands and an ax to grind.
Yeah, it is an old one, but I haven't seen it in a long time. So it is 'almost' new and still good.
Definitely an oldie but it's still funny.
Yes LJ, he must have been really bored one day and.....
