Just received this "alert" from our own WyoWoman...neither of us have checked the figures, but she figures, and so do I, that it all adds up. **BG**

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We've 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%?

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 and attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top.

But 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.

LOL...good ones MMario and Mad4Mud! Funny, too, that the Mudcat date glitch of yesterday put Paul's "Bribery" ahead of the initial message!**BG**

Which side of the Pond seems to make a difference, too. **BSEG**

F E C K O F F
6 5 3 11 15 6 6 = 52%

F U C K   O F F
6 20 3 11 15 6 6 = 67%

Are you suggesting that all those Sunday afternoon heroes of American TV are exaggerating when they claim they give 110%? "We gave 110%, man. We gave 110%!"

The A Team only give 73%
