Mathematischer Beweis ....

Ich hat­te schon öfter berich­tet, daß die Ame­ri­ka­ner an Zah­len glau­ben und stets ver­su­chen das all­ge­mei­ne Leben irgend­wie "bere­chen­bar" zu machen. Das fol­gen­de Bei­spiel bekam ich kürz­lich von einem Freund zugesandt. 

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,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

and, look, how far ass 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, one can con­clude with mathe­ma­ti­cal cer­tain­ty, that while "hard work" and "know­ledge" will get you clo­se to a 100%, and "atti­tu­de" will get you the­re, it’s the Bull­shit and Ass Kis­sing that will put you over the top.

"hard work" = Schwe­re oder anstren­gen­de Arbeit;
"know­ledge" = Wis­sen, Kenntnisse;
"atti­tu­de" = Grund- oder Geisteshaltung;
Bull­shit = Schwach- oder Blöd­sinn, Unfug;
Ass Kis­sing = In den Hin­tern krie­chen, den Hin­tern küssen.
