100 Percent

11.07.07

Realtor called today and said one of the neighborhood Latino families called him and were interested in the house! Currently, they are in the process of getting pre-qualified for a loan. Well, it's actually two families - one guy + wife/kids, and his nephew + whoever else. Keep your fingers crossed!

Anyway, here's a funny joke for your enjoyment:

Giving 100 percent

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

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

And 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.
