I know its totally off topic but i find incredibly funny and i wanna share it:


"In the Second World War they would have people form the Ministry of Labour going round checking on everybody and particularly on the big estates, to see if all these people, some of them could be released for essential war work. And they went to Chatsworth, the Duke of Devonshire's estate it was, and they, you know, stop watch and clipboard and they checked everybody, and eventually they had an interview with the Duke, and they said; "Well Your Grace, we can understand that you need forty seven gardeners and thirteen under gardeners and you need grooms and you need chauffeurs and you need upstairs maids and downstairs maids and in between maids and laundry room maids, and still room maids and kitchen maids and nursemaids and housemaids and parlour maids. And we can understand that you need the boy to scrape the knives and boots and you need the butler and the four footmen and the under butler. But we wonder if a man economy might be made, do you, does Your Grace necessarily need two pastry cooks? To which he apparently replied; "Oh damn it! Can't a man have a biscuit?"
