Hi, All!

I am not sure I know the correct word. In Russia we use the word "a male
goat" as an idiomatic sleng word meaning absence of respect, or when you
have a resentment to somebody. Does the following story sound funny in
English and can it be improved?

Three men from the USA delegation came to Russia and went to a big plant
to sign a contract. The director sees them into his cabinet and says to
his secretary girl, "Well dear -- one glass of cognac for me and three
tea for these goats." One man from the delegation says, "two tea,
please, I am a translator."

Bye, All!
Alexander Koryagin
