110% Proven Mathematically

Mathmatics never lie!

Have you heard these people say they gave or
will give 110%?

I've aways wondered how you could give more than a 100%.

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?
Now I know;from a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this;
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
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!

I think the idea of "giving 110%" originated in an IRS "proof of concept" study back in the 60s. To the best of my knowledge, it hasn't been implemented yet, but the plans are always in that top desk drawer, close at hand.

That's the kind of comment popular among high school gym teachers, whose math skills are notoriously lacking, hence the phrase, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym."
