This is 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?
    
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,
    
   
   [edit]
    
    So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the and [edit] kissing that will put you over the top.

Lance,

Profuse apologies - it won't happen again.

I'll put my keyboard into "read only mode" for Lent and probably beyond.

But it sure was funny...and really not offensive IMO.

Dave...please don't do what I think you alluded to!!! We need your wisdom around here.

Hey Dave
I sure don't want you to put your keyboard to rest. I started this topic and I'm not leaving just complying.
Hope you will do the same my friend. You bring too much good to this place to keep silent.

Saw him on Letterman this week. He held up a card that spelled out his and Letterman's names. Add up the number of letters and you get--23! Spooky!
