Now you know

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than
100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over
100%, or those who state they are known for their 110%.

How about achieving 103%?

Here's a little math that might prove helpful.

What makes life 100%?

If
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W 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%

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%

So, it stands to reason that hardwork and knowledge will get you
close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.

And 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.

Now you know!

I needed that first thing in the morning!

Oh man...I can go for a week on that one.

I'm not good at math, but if i'm not mistaken, then Schliemann = 98 . Try Sintubin. 🙂

I get 114...but then I am not good at math either.

So in name my man sin has beat me! Good thing I didn't pick
Antidisenstablishmententarinism...and just good old Schliemann.

And actually the reason for my nick has a funny story. Maybe one day
I will tell it.

What the hell am I supposed to be with a name like: Jan Pot? Better
work it out with Cervenakovas. Don't you think so?

What a clever boy/girl you are. I think this is very amusing. Like that!
Jan

I am not clever, nor am I a boy/girl. Just very female. 🙂)

Jan, the clever one in our family is the dog. But with little humour....

I'm the clever one here in my flat. But I must confess there's hardly
any competition. Just me and.. me. Jan. Should have Siamese cat
perhaps. Jan

maybe you must just do that Jan, you can always try to teach her to
play chess 🙂

Remember World Champion Alexander Alekhine was a cat-lover. He
often brought his cat with him. Its name was... 'Chess'! The legend
goes that he once brought it to the playing-table during his WCh-
match with Max Euwe, who was allergic for cats. True or not, I think it's
a good story anyway, and it might be true as well. After all, Alekhine
was rather eccentric. Jan

Well, i got a 180 with improvisatore. I do like to give my all!! Can
anyone better that?? I like these little tests, and i have seen a few in
my days.
If i had a peacock, and it laid an egg in my neighbours garden, who
would own the egg?? Anyone??
Slan...
Imp..

No matter where she lays it, it is still the peacock's egg.

Two people answer this and get it WRONG!

Peacocks don't lay eggs! Now if it was a PEAHEN...you could make a
case since that is the female! Peacocks are male.

Sheesh

Dave

you're avoiding the question Dave. The question was: if it laid an
egg.... 🙂
