The Cat...
You Don't Have To Own A Cat To Appreciate This One!
We were dressed and ready to go out for the New Years Eve Party.
We turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on, covered
our pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. We phoned the local
cab company and requested a taxi.The taxi arrived and we opened
the front door to leave the house. The cat we put out in the yard,
scoots back into the house. We didn't want the cat shut in the house
because she always tries to eat the bird. My wife went out to the taxi,
while I went inside to get the cat. The cat ran upstairs, with me in hot pursuit.
Waiting in the cab, my wife doesn't want the driver to know that the house will be
empty for the night.So, she explains to the taxi driver that I will be out soon,
"He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my mother."A few minutes later, I get into the cab.
"Sorry I took so long," I said, as we drove away.
"That stupid b**ch was hiding under the bed. Had to poke her with a
coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed
her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked! I hauled her fat butt downstairs and, threw her out into the back yard!"
The cab driver hit a parked car...
Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check."
"Oh, by the way don't worry about my bulldog Spike. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!" "I REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"
When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.
The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"
To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"

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
and those numbers represent percentages and are additive,
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-_-_-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
and, look how far butt kissing will take you.
B-U-T-T-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
2+21+20+20+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 151%
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 BS and butt kissing that will put you over the top and on your way to a raise.
(DISCLAIMER: This is only a joke, I have nothing but respect for those who work extra hard in their jobs and go well beyond what is generally considered 100%.)
Ok, on a similar vein, here is another mathematical proof:

Announcement from Apple Computers
Apple Computers announced today that it has developed a computer chip
that can store and play music in women's breast implants.
The I-Breast will cost between $499 and $599.
This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women are
always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to
them.

A woman was walking down the street when she was accosted by a
particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her
for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The woman took out her bill fold, extracted ten dollars and asked,
"If I give you this money, will you buy some wine with it instead of dinner?"
No," I had to stop drinking years ago, the homeless woman replied.
"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" the woman asked,
"No," I don't waste time shopping, the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" the woman asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't
had my hair done in 20 years!"
"Well," said the woman, "I'm not going to give you the money. In-
stead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my hubby and myself tonight.
The homeless woman was astounded. "Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."
The woman replied, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments and wine."
