Project Gutenberg. Just search for Aesop in the Author search.

What Are We Doing While Twitter Is Down?

• Worrying how everyone will know Twitter is down if we can't tweet that Twitter is down
• Desperately trying to write 140 character notes on our business cards
• Yelling I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING A BURRITO as loudly as we can
• Calling our friends one at a time and saying "Really fast, what are you doing right now?"
• Weeping at how the world we lived in could be ruled by such an unjust and vengeful god
• Settling for updating our Facebook status, though it's not the same
• Worrying about how @THE_REAL_SHAQ was doing
• Going to the bathroom without telling anyone

On Sunday night during our childhood, you could find my brother and I watching "Are You Being Served?" on PBS. Our grandfather introduced us to the show when he would watch it when we spent the night. Mollie Sugden played Betty Slocombe, the pink or purple haired saleslady. The show was filled with innuendo and we loved it. You can find some clips on Youtube here.
