WTF Jeeves was NOT a butler. He was a valet. He COULD buttle, and did when needed, but he wasn't a butler.

I'd buttle the hell out of some shiat for that.

Less than $158K, I guarantee you that.

I can't imagine being that much of an asshole to have a butler, no matter how much I was worth.

When butlers fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles
and the bottle's on a poodle and the poodle's eating noodles...

Try stay-home-dad. Is there much of a difference? I'd think so. Perception is key. There are butlers out there that could run companies. Basically at that level of salary it is what they do.

You would hope for 160 grand they're doing more than offering back-handed compliments and dry English wit.

Unless you're washing some old guy's wrinkly sack and drying it with your beard, why does being a butler require a sacrifice of pride?

My Grandfather was a valet. Yes, that's right, my father's father was a gentleman's gentleman.

This is correct.

For those who can't be bothered to look it up, a butler is responsible for a household and is usually the manager of all of the male household staff (the female equivalent is a housekeeper, but they have separate duties). A valet is responsible for a man (women had a "Lady's Maid).

Wooster lived in an apartment and lived alone so he had no need of a butler, only a valet. Jeeves did do some of the duties a butler would do, but he was a valet.

Hobson: Yes.
Arthur: Do you know what I'm going to do?
Hobson: No, I don't.
Arthur: I'm going to take a bath.
Hobson: I'll alert the media.
Arthur: [rises] Do you want to run my bath for me?
Hobson: That's what I live for.
[Arthur exits]
Hobson: Perhaps you would like me to come in there and wash your dick for you, you little shiat.

Mugato: I can't imagine being that much of an asshole to have a butler, no matter how much I was worth.

Why would having a butler make someone an asshole? If the butler is happy doing what he does for the money and the employer is willing to part with the money in exchange for services, everything's good and no one is hurt. It's no different than hiring a concierge, or a masseuse or any other person who provides a service for money, albeit it's for a longer period of time.

If you make the butler loofah your taint or pick up dogshiat with their fingers, then you're an asshole. But if you treat the butler with respect, everyone wins.

Master is not a title of authority but refers to a male who is not yet of age.

Anyone who would knock back 158k a year job because of some misguided sense of pride is the epitome of what is wrong with modern culture.

Could be an amazing gig depending on what kind of people your employers were, especially if they were away travelling a lot. Think of the parties you could have. Then you could write a book:

For $170k I'll not only buttle but also "keep you grounded"; i.e., tell you to fark yourself whenever you act like a rich dick.

Price out some image relations consultants, you'll see what I'm offering is a really good deal. You oblivious fat asshole.
