Information overload in the office

Does this scene look familiar? What are these people saying?

I'm having a contest to see who can write the best words/caption for this picture.

If you win you can choose between two prizes: a free copy of my book, Selling to the VP of NO, or a free deck of Discovery Cards. What are Discovery Cards? If you win, you'll find out!

If you comment on this post I'll consider it a submission.

Updating this on Monday 3 October: Check out some of the responses, they're a riot -- d

    Man: When we were wringing our hands over retaining IP, did we give a thought to how to make it accessible?

    Woman: Hey, I can access these papers just fine! Finding anything in them, on the other hand...

    Woman: We were trying to find a way to help the user understand how to use the application, because it's such a usability nightmare. Since the user's manual was a monster we made these quick reference guides.

    Man: There's nothing wrong with our application! I've been using it for years, and it's the best on the market.
