Friday Funny: Shaking in the Data Center
Happy Friday! You’ve made it to the end of the work week. Time for some data center levity.
Each Friday, Data Center Knowledge features a cartoon drawn by Diane Alber, our fav data center cartoonist, and our readers suggest funny captions. Please visit Diane’s website Kip and Gary for more of her data center humor.
The caption contest works like this: We provide the cartoon and you, our readers, submit the captions. We then choose finalists and the readers vote for their favorite funniest suggestion.
Congratulations to Jim Leach of Raging Wire for “I like her, but I’m just not ready for a 2N relationship.” for the Valentine’s Day cartoon.
This week Diane writes, “So the newest craze on youtube is called the “Harlem Shake” and I just love it! If you haven’t seen it yet, you soon will, it’s becoming as popular as the “plank”. Anyway, the Harlem shake is basically when a single person starts dancing all by themselves with a mask or helmet over there head and then as soon as the base drops the entire room starts going crazy. Well, I had to have Kip and Gary par take in the fun and what better place than the tape storage room! The only problem is I don’t think Gary has any idea of what is going on. . .”

Kip, I think you may have misunderstood when they told us to shake out the new tape management system . . . .
