Some of us, lets call them the more intelligent ones, realize that most things in life can be converted back into numbers and incorporated into mathematical formulas. Others, lets call them the stupid ones, think of numbers as their enemy and are oblivious to the fact that they are swimming in a sea of numbers every day. They manage by avoiding numbers and using subjective language to communicate and to attempt to understand the situations they find themselves in. Its amazing they survive.
One group will go on to become engineers, scientists, doctors, accountants, reporters and people who sell lottery tickets. The other group will become hippies, healers, soothsayers, politicians and people who buy lottery tickets. I didn't get to where I am today by not figuring these things out. I hope I have not offended anyone but these are, unfortunately, -the facts of life.
So when one group will say "its cold" the other will say "it's 10 degrees centigrade" When one group will say "I am a bit chubby" the other group might say "I weigh 350 pounds" One group will claim to be "well off and flush with cash" the other will say they have $540 in their wallet and have a net worth of 1.2 million dollars. Some will say "its late" others will say it is 6:15. Well you can see the trend. You may even see an advantage in one approach over the other.
There are some areas where we might all agree. If you are on a plane headed for Europe you may just wish that the plane was being navigated there on a specific compass heading and the joker who filled the gas tanks didn't get his litres and gallons mixed up. You may wish that during that heart operation that your doctor monitors your exact heart rate and temperature. You might hope that your bank keeps exact records of your balance to the penny and using the correct plus or minus sign. If are catching a bus you might want to know the exact time now and the exact time the bus arrives. So in summary even if you "hate math" you might admit to situations where exact counts and expressing things with numbers is a good idea.
This leads to the subject of ********. For the first time in recorded history I have discovered the mathematical formula for ********. It's fiendishly clever, fairly easy to understand and has huge significance!
Where A= a quantity and B= a quantity and C=a quantity and BS =******** here is the formula that defines ********:
A+B+C = D
A+B+C+BS=BS
and BS is not equal to D
The significance of this formula is that even when you solve the variables A. B and C once you add BS to it your answer is also BS. Simply adding the ******** factor completely destroys your ability to solve the equation that would otherwise be represented by the value D.
You should also see the danger of employing a ******** artist in your organization. Whatever he or she touches or produces will be ********. Do the math!
In the case of say -an ex Prime Minister who is a ******** artist and who is spinning you a story of how things really happened you can be absolutely sure that the result will be ********. If a person is running for President and they are spinning you tales of ******** say ducking snipers in Bosnia or whatever then their entire campaign is ********. If a person runs for Prime Minister and tells you before the election that Canada is in good shape and all will be well and it' s really all ******** then you begin to see how the formula works. It's a bit of a stinky formula but it works!
Mathematics is something that you can rely on. We now have the formula. I think you will be absolutely amazed at the results when you start using the formula everyday. Have fun with it! I am sure you know somebody that it applies to.
For those of you who wish to carry on in your research on ******** and perhaps purchase a nice gift for somebody that would get a kick out of it -or yourself here are some good books on the subject
