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%?

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
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, hardwork and knowledge will get you close, and, Attitude will get you there, bullshit and ass kissing will put you over...

Smile

Nice thread vipz
Kinda silly to see any company that offers 110% on their service and product quality.

Speaking of price matching, you guys know about Black Friday?
It is the day after Thanksgiving where thousands of people wake up early before sunrise to get in line in front of various stores. Why are they waiting in line?
Well, certain stores have outrageous sales on hot holiday gifts for consumers. And for the few hundreds or even thousands of bravesouls who formed a line as early as 2a.m. (store opens at 6a.m.), either receives a voucher for a special sale, receive refreshments, get to choose the hot items for hot prices, and a headstart to grab as much goods as possible. Stores that participate in the Black Friday sales include Best Buy, Office Depot, Circuit City, Toys R' Us, Walmart, and a few more.

I can't manage to wake up that early to shop.

This is how price matching comes in handy:

You figure out *what* is going to be on sale that day, you buy the stuffs ahead of time and go back there on that day and do a price match...

its also proven w/ math that girls are evil

Girls require time and money, so

Girls = Time x Money

since time is money

Time = Money

so therefore

Girls = (Money)˛

but since money is the root of all evil

Money = (evil)^˝

so since we have Girls = (Money)˛ and
if we square both sides

(Money)˛ = ( (evil)^˝)˛
we get

Money˛ = evil

and since Girls = (Money)˛

Girls = evil

To simplify what JPWRana said, girls = evil.
Yes, we are very evil~

Those make sense.
The Girl=Evil can be a great topic for a graduate thesis.
