How many times have you heard a Mathematical Midget (usually sports “heroes”) say he gave over 100% effort toward whatever Herculean Endeavor he is trying to impress us about?
I know and you know (at least I hope you know) that more than 100% effort is not possible. To go even further I heard a celebrity say the other day that he gave 1 Million Percent Support to something or other.
I got all excited and started pecking out a blog. Knowing that so many people admire this sports celebrity I began to get an uneasy feeling that he may know more than I do about numbers and percentages and such things.
Before I blurted out my first erroneous blog I wanted to make sure I would not make a fool of myself. I contacted a member of congress who is deeply involved in all things financial up there in our 13% Approval Rated Congress.
You, my dear reader, may think the Smartfella knows it all. I understand why you may feel that way but I many times consult with experts before I send out a Blog Posting. This is my way of tricking you into believing that I am really smart.
Golly gee did this honorable member of congress put me in my place! The Congressman seemed rather annoyed and disappointed with me when he explained, “Smartfella, do you not understand that 120 Percent is a lot more than 1 Million Percent? Any fifth grader knows that 120 is more than 1.”
Did I feel silly!
Would I kid u?
Smartfella?
