Caption contest: The pinball machine

I may regret this, but here’s something new: A caption contest. One of my colleagues saw this picture on a company’s Web site.

Pinball machine with flipper about to strike ball.

The original caption for this picture was something like Join our affiliate program or Score big with our affiliate program. Your mission is to come up with something funnier. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Do you have balls of steel? Maybe you can become an affiliate.
  • We love to flip off our affiliates.
  • When you become an affiliate, you’re going to get whacked around a lot.
  • Sooner or later you’ll end up in the hole.
  • We like to play games with you. Become an affiliate today!

Now it’s your turn. Keep it friendly.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
