The quarterback sack is always a Code 1

Now, this pic has some thinking Code 2. Green, after all, was down with a concussion for several minutes as Johnson lumbered over him with dominance. However, the fact that Green is 180 pounds and Johnson is 300, hurting him doesn't add anything to the jam up.
Long story short. A QB sack is a jam up, but can never be rated as anything higher than a Code 1.
Beer Jam

Here's an interesting scenario. I'm calling it a Code 3.
Dude with the brew is obviously getting jammed up hard, and it appears here that Glasses is doing the dirty work.
Now, why just a Code 3? Well, we don't have significant evidence to indicate Glasses is aware she's jamming up Dude with the brew. Intent plays a huge role in jamming somebody up.
Also, there's a possibility that Dude with Brew is just drunk and fighting off a headache. But, it's more likely that Glasses just saw something she was happy with on the TV, and Dude with Brew just lost some sort of bet - or just hates what he sees altogether.

Wall Street Jamming everybody up

This photo by the AP (A Code 4 - I'll explain later) is one of many jam ups that can be found online today because the Dow dropped 700 points after the House denied Pres. Bush's $700 billion bailout plan
Why a Code 4? It's simple. The dude to the left is pointing (with slight smirk) to something that is obviously jamming up Blue Tie. The guy to the right of the Blue Tie is smirking, obviously in on the Jam Up. Gray beard may or may not be in the know. It's hard to tell.
Blue Tie's face is an obvious initial reaction. He may get more pissed, and it's highly doubtful he'll be laughing this off later.
The Gold Standard Jam Up

Wondering what a Jam Up is? Well the photo to the left is the best possible way to describe it. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, this photo uses each of those 1,000 words to their fullest potential.
This is the gold standard Jam Up. Chauncey Billups making Derek Fisher look like a total dweeb as the Pistons roll the Lakers in the NBA Finals.
For newcomers. Look at this photo and notice all elements:
- Chauncey is quite pleased with himslef.
- Chauncey's smile, and appears to be dancing a jig.
- Fisher's look of total helplessness.
- It happened on a national stage where the entire season was on the line.
