I almost posted this in word play and fun, because it could be interesting to see what a word is worth--

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. So,
the next time someone claims to be giving over 100%, you know what he is
doing. And if your boss demands more than 100%, then feed it to him.

And competence (99) counts for less than incompetence.

To maintain a good relationship with a woman, you need time and money:

Women = Time x Money

And those on Wall St tell us that Time = Money, hence

Women = Money x Money

The more altruistic among us tell us that money is the root of all evil...

Money = v¯Evil

Hence...

Women = v¯Evil x v¯Evil

Thus proving that Women = Evil.

Thus proving that Women = Evil.

Oooh, boy .. you're really askin' fer some trubble round here sonny! Good thing yer so far away ...

But I refuse to bite. Instead, I chose to share some words of wisdom from my coffee cup:

Coffee is hot. Hot is good.
Morning is slow. Slow is bad.
Boss wants work. Work is hard.
Coffee has caffeine. Caffeine makes you hyper.
Hyper is busy. Busy is success.
Therefore, COFFEE is SUCCESS!

Now that's a theory I like. Coffee anyone?
