I have a question. Is there really such a thing as a 100% totally selfless act?

Most people who do things for others in a selfless manner, do it because they enjoy doing things for others, or enjoy helping people. But if this is the case, is it not still actually a selfish act? (in that they are doing it because they get enjoyment out of it).

I am not arguing that said act is not a very kind and generous thing to do, or that they are bad people. I am just amused to think that there may not be such a thing as a 100% completely selfless act.

I may be completely wrong, or completely off base here. But I am just curious… Can anyone give me an example of a 100% completely selfless act? If so i obviously stand corrected…
