Not complaining. Are you volunteering to be my houseboy? You can sleep in my dressing room. I'm very particular about precleaning the collars and cuffs though.

I'll probably get some illegal Filipino maid later on when I have kids.

What's the going rate for that? Room/board and like couple hundred a month?

After carefully considering your offer, I must respectfully decline, I believe continuing onto a Masters degree will be the best course of action for the foreseeable future.

Sincerely,

One of my neighbors has a kid and has found some service that sends him one ridiculously hot nanny after another. It is really unbelievable. Back on topic, a proper butler should really be from a European country, so Master James should keep that in mind while he is shopping.

Ex-friends of my parents brought their maid with them from Argentina and the wife held onto her passport...while this was not the only reason my parents are no longer friends with them, it was one of the primary reasons.

I mention in passing that they lived in a $2 million house and we both very well paid doctors; thus they could easily afford paying legally for a maid.

Really, only one European country. If you can't afford UK labor, you can't afford a butler. And if he speaks with something other than received pronunciation, he's right out.

I'm quite lucky to have found my man Cadbury. Good help is hard to come by these days.

Preferably England, no?

If we're counting that then I had a Twink Boi Toi when I lived in LA.

Not being high up enough to afford to buy an Englishman, we had to go for Portugese. On the plus side, he was a failed poet.

We're considering the UK European nowadays? They won't like that...

Business with a strong foundation in finance.

Please govern yourself accordingly,
