han: hey you guys heard bhutto died?

xing wei: yeah man...

jerome: whos that?

xing wei: ...

han: wait, you dont know who bhutto is?

jerome: yeah who is that?

xing wei: jerome you only know your wrestlers lah. you know great khali you dunno whos bhutto
jerome: i know great khali but i really dont know who is bhutto

han(it was about this time that i decided to mock jerome a bit...): bhutto was the great khali's manager man.

xing wei: yeah...

jerome: wha serious ah...

han: yeah man. died yesterday

jerome: wha cheeecken i didnt know...

*pause while jerome checks his hair in his reflection, me and xing wei sniggering already*

jerome: ay why you two smiling
