Thread: Chain letter

  1. #1

    Chain letter

    I got this in a chain letter and thought I would share:

    This equation should be taught in all math classes!

    From a strictly mathematical viewpoint 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 answ! er 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, it's the BULLSHIT
    and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

    it's scientifically proven that you can't give more than 100%...that's just a tired myth

    also, I saw that like 4 or 5 years ago...seriously

    it may not have been 4 or 5 years, but it's been a long time...I'm just surprised people are still sending that around

    Actually, giving 300% is possible. It's like someone who never walks running a marathon. It's possible. Your normal capacity is 100%, and going way above and beyond is 110%. It's entirely possible.

    It's definitely been around for ages. I have it in an email from 1997 still in my jokes folder and I am pretty sure it's quite a bit older than that.

    Doesn't take away from it's still good though.
