Well fuck. I'm a useful man..

Looks like that's useless :/

You were simply transformed into a handyperson.

It wasn't the same as a handyman. The title "useful man" was for a servant who'd never actually serve the master.

Today it'd be a "runner" or some kind of "assistant to the assistant"

Holy shit, is this why lowly assistants are colloquially called gophers?!? I never drew the connection. Sometime we just take weird words or phrases for granted without thinking about their etymology.
