You know you’re a BeruBara fan when you read the following exchange on Not Always Right:
Rolling Your ‘R’s Can Be Bizarre
Call center | Philippines
Me: “I’m sorry, sir. Did you mean ‘R’ as in ‘Robert’?”

1: Andre: Argh! Why were Oscar and I born into different classes? If I were a noble, I could be with Oscar right away!

4: Andre: I just don’t understand…
