I just finished having my morning tea out on the veranda....
It was very warm, so my butler brought me a towel to dab the perspiration off my forehead, like he always does.

Well, the towel was not folded the way I like it.

I kept my temper in check though.

Instead of yelling at him, I counted to 10 and asked him to have a seat.

We had a civil discussion about how I no longer will be needing his services, and how he should probably seek employment elsewhere.

There are plenty of people looking for jobs in these hard economic times, so I am NOT going to tolerate a butler who can't even fold my fucking forehead towel correctly.

We hire illegals. Oh sure, it's slave labor but without us they wouldn't have a job to begin with.

7. I hire aliens...
from the Mutara Nebula.
They're just happy to be off the spaceship and on solid ground, so I always get a good day's work from them.

5. This is funny! But the sad part is there are probably spoiled
people with money out there who have done stuff like this.

6. You should check into Oompa Loompas
When real workers got to be too troublesome for Willie Wonka, he hired Oompa Loompas. Apparently, they're perfect in every way and will work for chocolate.

8. You dab your own forehead? I can't imagine what it's like to be that poor.
I feel sorry for you.

9. I had this problem too.
I considered outsourcing my forehead dabbing to China, but realized that it would be inconvenient to send my forehead to China while still savoring the last of my tea and contemplating the view from my veranda. I bought a device from General Dynamics that takes care of it all. No more butler, no more China.
