Mathematics: Brilliant!!

This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 years’
experience.

It has an indisputable mathematical logic. It also made me Laugh Out Loud.
This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint ... and it goes like this:

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%

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, than while Hard work and
Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there. It is the
Bull**** and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

Now you know why Politicians are where they are!

I’ve never seen a better explanation than this formula, how true it is.


This is highly amusing coming from a dumb country hick who climbed from
grunt to Lt Colonel in the US Army.
Proves y'all might have something there.

You are referring to someone else than me. But John may have been a
“country hick”, but seems as if dumb describes you much more. John, was
drafted, became an officer and that had to be through hard work. Got a
college degree. You, on the other hand, spent your life in a less than
$30,000 a year job, cleaning toilets and floors. No,wonder you get along
so well with your butt bitty, Harry.


You'd better have another drink Swill. You're in danger of sobering up and getting smacked with reality. I doubt you could handle that.
