“When I was a kid “the server is down” meant your waiter was depressed”

“When I was a kid “the server is down” meant your waiter was depressed” is a jocular saying that has been printed on several images.
   
“Ha! RT @CancerIsAwesome: When I was a kid ‘The Server Is Down’ meant your waiter was depressed” was posted on Twitter by Ashley Neo Phogojane on April 9, 2012. The account @CancerIsAwesome is no longer on Twitter, and the original tweet is no longer available. The saying was popularized on an ecard.
