We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103 %? Here is 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 hard work and knowledge will get you close, Attitude will get you there, and Bull\*\*\*\* will take you over the top. But look how far \*\*\* 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 the next time someone asks you to give more than 100%, you know what is required of you.

Rev, Since you seem to be on a Hawaii thing here’s a joke from a while back: A man in Topeka, Kansas, decided to write a book about churches around the country. He started by flying to San Francisco, and started working east from there. Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign which read “$10,000 a minute.” Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The Pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to Heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God. The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle, Atlanta, Greensboro, Chicago, Milwaukee, and all around the United States, he found more phones with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor. Finally, he arrived in Hawaii. Upon entering a church in Maui, behold, he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read “Calls: 35 cents.” Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor. “Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but, in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads 35 cents a call. Why?” The pastor, smiling benignly, replied, “Braddah, You in Hawaii now. It’s one local call.” ---
