: : The only version of this I've ever heard is "Where was Moses when the lights went out?" ("In the dark.")

Speaking of the lights being out, right at this moment there seems to be a problem in much of eastern North America, and about half the websites I've been trying to access are out of commission. BTW, that's "sauerkraut", not "sour crout".
