Flow charts are a required Systems Engineering tool for communicating a requirement or design. Here's an interesting and actually funny flow chart on the use of "Oh Snap"
Here's a more complicated, but still funny, that's been around for ages. The original was too vulgar for this family friendly site so I cleaned it up.
