TX health agents, what to do?

[fostever]

John, irregardless of the (oops, sorry) regardless of the....just yanking your chain. Another on that irks me is "then" and "than."

Oh well, fostever, it's just an expression of overwhelming agreement---not necessarily a mathematical model. I do calculus problems in my spare time instead of crossword puzzles.

I understand. I just think when our children are in school trying to learn percentages hear 110% or any phrase over 100% it confuses them. I was at a recruiting meeting for a particular agency and an agent was bragging about her 200% close ratio, meaning she closed every lead plus the spouse or got a referral and closed it. She not only was lying, but confounding the math world in the process.

Fostever, are you saying that it is incorrect to ever say that something is more than 100%? The Attorney General in New Jersey went after some outfit that was charging their customers 400% interest on some type of rentals. Are you saying that is a mathematical impossibility?

 

[CHUMPS FROM OXFORD]

In many scenarios, it is possible to have a percentage higher than 100.

It is commonly used when referring to quotas, projections etc...

However, when referring to a fixed (finite) object(s)...such as "those 15 balls over there,"...it doesn't work.

Now...if you don't mind.... I'm going back to trying to solve pai...

O.K. Ya got me. PayDay Loans should be outlawed. Those outfits amount to legal loansharking. Damn, we really got off the original subject with a simple space bar typo. Sorry HealthAgent, will you please forgive us non-anal retentive agents? Is my punctuation correct? My mom was an English teacher for over 30 years and if she couldn't help me nobody can. I repent if I've hurt anyone here.

10 Hail Mary's the 50 Our Father's and it's forgotten.

Wasn't Scotty always pushing those warp engines to 110%?

[fostever]

Cool. I'll get right to that after.... oh wait, I'm Lutheran, we've been released from those requirements.

Scotty never existed. Spock and Kirk were secret lovers and they invented "Scotty" so Bones wouldn't feel left out.

Spock and Kirk were secret lovers ...

the missing show....

Hey, good show, Chumps, but try solving "pi," not "pai."

BTW, Chumps, where the hell did you get the symbol for pi. It isn' t on my keyboard.
