This equation should be taught in all maths 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 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 1 8 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 Hardwork 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.

A Lobster fisherman from Maine gets pulled over by a New Hampshire
state trooper for speeding. The trooper starts to lecture the lobster
fisherman about his speeding, and in general begins to throw his
weight around to try to make the lobster fisherman feel uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper gets around to writing out the ticket.  As he is
doing it, he keeps swatting at some flies that are buzzing around his
head.  The lobster fisherman says, "Havin' some problem with them
circle flies?"

The trooper stops writing the ticket and says, "Well, yeah, if that's
what they're called.  But I've never heard of circle flies."

"Well, suh," the lobster fisherman replies, "Circle flies hang around
farms. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found
circling a round the back end of a horse."

The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket.  But a
moment later he stops and asks, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?"

"No, suh," the lobster fisherman replies, "Have too much respect for
law enforcement to call you a horse's ass."

"That's a good thing," the trooper says, and goes back to writing the ticket.

After a long pause, the lobster fisherman, in his best Maine drawl,
says, "Hard to fool them flies, though."
