In a shocking tale of deceit and misdirection, a Chinese butler has outsmarted his wealthy employer in a clever ruse. Pierpont Morgan Jones, a prominent banker, hired a Chinese butler named Tot Lee Chwang Toy, who promptly took the opportunity to expose his employer’s ignorance. When Jones asked the butler to reveal his full name, Toy replied, ‘Me no memble all that.’ Jones, taken aback, decided to shorten the name to ‘Tommy,’ a decision that would come back to haunt him. The next morning, Toy calmly requested that Jones simply call him ‘Tommy,’ leaving no doubt about his intentions. The incident has left the city’s elite reeling, and raises questions about the intelligence and judgment of those who seek to exploit the innocent for their own gain.
