I'd be afraid he'd litter up the place with his melancholy.

I'll ask my majordomo what country our butlers are from.

Are you living some real world version of Sidney Pollack's character in Eyes Wide Shut?

My grandparents didn't have a butler, but they did have a staff of servants including a cook, maids, nannies, wet-nurses, and apparently a sort of rickshaw driver. One of them is still alive, and my family visits her sometimes.

My girlfriend always took it for granted that her family had maids and such, to the point that she once said, "Oh, everyone had a driver." I asked her if her driver had a driver. She was dumbstruck -- she'd never really thought about it.

The security staff would have escorted him away, I am sure.

We called all of the help by their first names. That is only normal.

I am an asshole, no debate there. But at least I'm not a retard.
