How to achieve more than 100%.

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants more than 100%.

Well here's how you do that. Here's how you can achieve 103% !!

First of all, a little math: taking as given that

A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4
E = 5
F = 6
G = 7
H = 8
I = 9
J = 10
K = 11
L = 12
M = 13
N = 14
O = 15
P = 16
Q = 17
R = 18
S = 19
T = 20
U = 21
V = 22
W = 23
X = 24
Y = 25
Z = 26

then:
H A R D W O R K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = only 98%

similarly,
K N O W L E D G E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = only 96%

but interestingly (and as you might expect),
A T T I T U D E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% ...

However, to achieve the super summit, the essential point is to realize that

B U L L S H I T = 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

So now you know what all those high-priced consultants, upper management, and motivational speakers really mean when they want you to exceed 100%.

(19+20+19+20+5+16+8+1+14)-(19+20+19+20+5+16+8+1+14) = 0%

I'm still trying to see whose name adds up to 666. . . . Let's see: "GEORGE W. BUSH" . . . nope. "OSAMA BIN LADEN" . . . nope. Maybe it's that Ridge guy who's the new Director of "Homeland Security," i.e. The Gestapo. He's got all the charisma of Frankenstein's monster--I'll bet he likes flat-chested girls, too.
