Rainn Wilson is setting the standard for relevant, funny and more than worth the time to read Twitter updates.

Bookish, don't read this. Choire Sicha, this might be helpful for you.

True story: I picked up a call one night about 20 years ago that was meant for my roommate the doctor. It was a well-known C-grade actress who we can now view on a sitcom or two. She stated, approximately: "Your friend the lawyer and I hit it off at a party and we went to his hotel. We had sex, but he didn't pull out! We were going to have sex again, but my boyfriend started pounding on the door. I don't know how he found us! So your friend is passed out now and I need the morning after pill. Can you get me the morning after pill? I know it's not legal yet, but I know you can get one. I don't know what to do. I can't leave because he' s out there and he's going to kill us. Can you? Can you help me?"

I couldn't, but I did suggest that she douche with coca-cola. She gushed, "thank you, thank you, thank you" through her tears and hung up.

@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: HAVE to ask: did it work, or did she "go to Romania and adopt an orphan?" #wereadtwittersoyoudonthaveto

@raincoaster:

Don't think so. She was an Arthur Murray dance instructor in the early years though. #wereadtwittersoyoudonthaveto

I remember when bees in the workplace were a bad thing.

Only Martha has "grasses" where most other people have lawn.
