incoherently rambling since 2003

I dont normally take to distibute this kind of stuff via email, but this is a good forum forum this email I received today..

There is a good conclusion to this, if you have the patience to read on……….
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?

Well, 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 YZ
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 is
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

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

But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E is
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T is
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 then conclude with mathematical certainty that
while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, Bullshit and Ass-kissing will put you over the top!

Kind of relates to Adams last post..

  1. Let’s just clarify..

    - You set a password in MT, but forget it in, what, two days
    - You seem to be doubling doubling up up on your words :) - You can’t spell …. (ok, I have my moments, but damn!)..

    oh yeah, and a certain person has e-mailed me (I believe she’d be your significant other!) telling me I should give lessons*

    *smile*

    Have a nice day :) A

    *no, not to her! ..

  2. hmmmm….

    yes I can’t spell…
    yes I typed a word twice…
    yes I forgot my password….

    for the first two I could give the excuse that I was posting quickly at work and didn’t have time to proof read, but where do excuses get you?

    Com-on, you can do better than that!

    As for my girlfriend emailing you… I’ll have to clarify the facts before I comment ;)
