Less than 1%

I recently read an article that stated the chance of a film agent signing a writer is less than 1%. Less than 1%!  Ugh! I read this new found percent to a coworker. He yelled back over the cube wall, "You have better chance of getting hit by a bus or catching a tape worm."  A good example of why I should always air on the side of silence.

What exactly is "less than 1%"? Where do they come up with this stuff? For a fleeting moment I thought I'd reached a summit when in reality I may still be at base camp.

Less than 1% [mumble - sigh]. Eh, all I can do is keep climbing. 

If you told me a year ago I would drink tequila with Quentin Tarantino, I would have told you "The chance of that happening is less than 1%!". And there I was sharing tequila with a cinematic genius, discussing his love of spagetti westerns and his homage to the 'Dirty Dozen'.
