Friday Funny: Plumbing New Depths
Oh boy, it’s Friday! That means that it’s time for data center humor! That golden moment of a small smile before you head out the door for a blissful weekend of relaxation and no messages about downtime, right?
Here’s how it works: We provide the cartoon (drawn by Diane Alber, our awesome data center cartoonist) and you, our readers, submit the captions. We then choose finalists and the readers vote for their favorite funniest suggestion. The winner will receive their caption in a signed print by Diane.
First, kudos to German Pacio for “I think we should store our logs in a different place.” which was voted the best caption for the previous cartoon.
And now, Diane writes, “I hear from time to time leaks that happen in a data center, so I thought I would take it one step further. . .” Please add your caption suggestions for what the “scuba diver” is thinking to the comments.
Please visit Diane’s website Kip and Gary for more of her data center cartoon humor. To see our previous cartoons, visit Data Center Knowledge’s Humor Channel.
