Cartoon Contest — It’s Simple!

[timoelliott]

Welcome to an experiment!

I’d like to try to tempt you to take part in a New-Yorker-style cartoon caption contest. I'm hoping that this will be an opportunity to unleash the pent-up humor genes of the global SCN community.

I’m afraid there are no prizes (legally, it’s hopelessly complicated), but you will win the undying admiration of the community, and (if you’re game) we’ll feature the winning entry here on SCN and elsewhere.

Here’s the incomplete cartoon:

Rules

• Just come up with the funniest phrase you can to illustrate the cartoon above, and enter it as a comment to this post
• You have 7 days from today to submit your entry in order to take part in the judging.
• Multiple entries are fine — but remember the goal is quality rather than quantity
• Please be nice — sarcasm is fine, but defamation and insults wouldn’t be cool...
• Don’t hesitate to (respectfully) add your own spin to somebody else's entry — the name of the game is collaboration.
• Vote for your favorite comments/captions by clicking the "like" button below each entry
• If you'd like to be notified about new entries, click on the "receive email notifications" or "track" in the Actions box to the right of this post.

And if you think this is a fun idea, please spread the word!

[UPDATE: And The Winners Are: Cartoon Caption Contest Winners] -- many thanks to all who participated!

"It will generate enough beer for our entire SCN community to come up with new & fresh ideas!" :smile:

You think THIS is big? Well, then ya should see the manual, that's even much much bigger!!!

[Sri_Subramaniam]

The only down side is that the help documentation isn't great. All our developers used Google to "crowd" code

[julie_barrier]

Welcome to SAP. Here's our org chart.

:lol:

[Lee_Barnard]

Does it come with a manual?

[wmarcy]

We call this the "TARDIS". But here, it's smaller inside.

NSA is still working on an interface to harverst data from.

'what do you mean 'there's a bit missing!''

[former_member194260]

Our engineers heard that we are going to implement a BIG data project so they decided to help

[Steffi_Warnecke]

It is called GLADOS as in "Be glad, it's running on DOS."

[former_member203847]

Love this one

[Former Member]

The millennials are going to LOVE this!

[Former Member]

And then I thought to myself - "man,your boss deserves THE ultimate cappuccino machine"

[former_member218467]

It will work, it just need another patch.. It's simple!

[former_member218185]

If you think this is complex – guess how the software looks like…

[andreas_rein]

And best of all: it's totally self-explanatory!

[former_member218191]

"yeah you know ... it has developed historically!"

[Former Member]

True...a bit complex, but hey it's available in three colours: lotus, aquamarine and amber!

[Former Member]

Sure it's a bicycle. I bet you can't wait to take a ride!

[Former Member]

And finally we have a machine to understand women, oh yeah and our systems are in the Cloud.

[julie_barrier]

Don't worry. We provide helmets.

[andreas_rein]

True, last we saw Dr. Smith somewhere inside. But see, he's now part of something really big ...

[McF]

And then I said to the Engineers: If you don’t like the new coffee machine feel free to build your own…

[former_member218276]

"No. The charger is not included"

[former_member182950]

Ford Executives....Then and Now

[Abhijeet-K]

Inside this of course! Your mail read, "All that the management care is some in-sight".

[aurelian_stratica2]

The first step toward simplification is allowing this machine to post funny comments about itself on SCN .

[WolfgangJanzen]

"John is on leave - and no-one else knows how to operate it"

[WolfgangJanzen]

"No problem, I can add the feature - just give me another year"

[WolfgangJanzen]

"This is what you've ordered - when can we ship it to you?"

[timoelliott]

"And it turns out the answer is '42'..."

[former_member203847]

Now this trulyis the best one yet

[Former Member]

Yes, it calculates "1+1", but it does it on 2000 digit accuracy and complies with our health&safety rules. Do THAT with a SaaS solution!

[Former Member]

"You asked us to align the infrastructure with the application integration to shorten ROI and decrease TCO as per your recent management presentation, so we rebuilt the data centre. It is called RFC".

[cathy_cooper]

You should have seen it before we simplified it.

[Former Member]

Your job is to change the User Experience and make this system simple for Sapphire demo !

[former_member218329]

This is the trial version

[former_member195810]

We’re not sure what it does, but it works great!

[Former Member]

"You said you wanted it to work like something from another dimension. I picked the second one..."

[Former Member]

The idea was Big Data from another dimension. So here we are. 2D. Good luck finding the manual, dude.

[Former Member]

SaaS?? I thought you said Suess!

[Former Member]

This is your artwork? Well done!

[Former Member]

"You asked to see how the program really works and not be given all these explanations about how it really works"

[Florian]

Showing personal: "This is the innovation you asked for. We can add some sensors and get this IoT-thing running on your phones"

Manager: "But...."

Worker: "No need to worry, the sensors will be installed later this century"

[Former Member]

Variant:  "You said you want it to work by Monday morning and you don't care how, so we did it".

[ChrisSolomon]

HAHAHA ...VERY good!

[NTeunckens]

Best we could do ...

[I_MCA]

...but SAP runs simple. Check out my wrist version!
