Friday Funny: ‘It’s A Fun House’ Caption Contest
It’s Friday and time for some workplace humor. Diane Alber, the Arizona artist who created Kip and Gary, brings us a new take on life in the data center, with “it’s a fun house.”
She writes, “I’m always astounded when I pass by an old building that looks abandoned and later find out there is a huge data center in it. This was the inspiration for this next comic. I was trying to think of the craziest building to have a data center inside … and this is it.”
So you know the ropes, we provide the cartoon, drawn by Diane, and you, the reader, can submit the caption. Use the comments field below for your suggestions! Next week, we will choose three or so finalists, and Data Center Knowledge readers will have a chance to vote for their favorite. The winner will receive their caption in a signed print by Diane!
Hearty congratulations to “Dryancloud” who was the prize winner for the last cartoon, with “Well this is awkward, you have 3rd shift tomorrow night, not tonight.”
Enter your submission below!

Gary, let this serve as a lesson. This is what can happen when you clown around too much with your cloud customers.

Fun House/Data Center?
Now, that’s an oxymoron.
“With a little work, I think we can make this Happen!, What do you think?”
On the downside the foundations cracked, it needs new paint, and I’m scared of clowns.
On the upside its bigger than the Starbucks, filled with depression and despair, and no clients will ever want to come here.
Its just about perfect.
A Data Center! We weren’t born yesterday – who do these clowns think we are?
