buddy老兄，ease泰然自若
【笑话原文】
Your Grandfather
A well-dressed young man demanded as soon as he entered the restaurant. "Serve me, quick! Give me your best. I don't care the price."
Not like the way he talked, the waiter said to him: "Hey Buddy, it doesn't matter you have a lot of money. You are still son of somebody, and grandson of somebody else."
The young man raged: "Dare you! Tell me, who wants me to be his grandson?"
The waiter replied with ease: "Nobody. Just your grandfather."
【中文译文】
你的爷爷
一位衣冠楚楚的年青人一进饭店就大声嚷嚷：
“喂，有什么好菜尽管端上来，钱多少我不在乎。”
服务员听了很不是滋味：“哥儿们，钱多有什么用，你不照样得做别人的儿子，就是有人要你做孙子你也不敢不做!”
年青人勃然大怒：“谁敢占w的便宜?你说，是谁不要命了，胆敢要我做他的孙子?”
服务员慢条斯理地答道：“你的爷爷!”
