    Yahoo’s “coffee breaks” are long because not only do they drink pure Columbian coffee but they go to Columbia to drink it! That poor little burro has a hard time getting up and down the mountain to bring those fresh coffee beans.

    They take so many "breathers" that we should send them some asthma inhalers.

    Seriously, Yahoo has been known for a long, long time for having a lot of glitches. They think it’s cute to put those “breather” or “coffee break” messages because they don’t want to admit “We’ve screwed something up again so you, th users, just have to learn to live with it.”

    They're probably having server issues. Essentially what it means is that the website is "broke" for the time being.

    They have asthma. When they have a coffee break, they mean they have to go pee. 【ツ】
