Who ever said you can't give 100+ ???

 

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%. How about achieving 103%?

Here's a little math that might prove helpful.

 

What makes life 100%? Want to know the secret?

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%

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 this will take you!

A  S  S  K I  S  S I  N G
1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118% !!!

 

What we learn from the movies

  1. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there, and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.
  2. You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
  3. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it is not necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.
  4. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
  5. If staying in a haunted house, women must investigate any strange noises in their most diaphanous underwear, which is just what they happened to be carrying with them at the time the car broke down.
  6. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.
  7. If someone says, "I'll be right back", they won't.
  8. Computer monitors never display a cursor on screen but always say: Enter Password Now.
  9. It is not necessary to say hello or goodbye when beginning or ending phone conversations. And none of your friends have to knock when they come for a visit.
  10. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.
  11. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
  12. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
  13. If you decide to start dancing in the street everyone around you will automatically be able to mirror all the steps you come up with and hear the music in your head.
  14. Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite. And last but not least
  15. When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.

Writing in space

NASA discovered that there are times it is most effective to have a writing instrument even in the most "high tech" environment they are in. Unfortunately, ball-point pen and markers just does not work in space because they depend on gravity.

Therefore NASA initiated a project to invent an alternative writing instrument and thus called upon a number of top Scientists and allocated a few million dollars in budget.

After more than a year of hard work, the team of researches finally developed a prototype that sort of work most of the time and made a presentation to report their result. During the presentation, a member in the audience stood up and said: "I thought that the Russians are using pencil for the same purpose?"
