In a small Basque town, an old timer sits at the bar.
Another younger man wearing a boneta (beret) walks in
and sits at the bar. They do not know each other and
so they don't know that each stutters when they talk.
The first man turns to the other and says, stammering
"Erak t-t-t-t-o eran b-b-b-b-ehar daiat hist-t-t-torio
b-b-bat." (1)
The younger one replies, "et-t-ta z-z-z-zer his-t-t-t-torio
d-d-uuu-k?" (2)
Insulted the old man answers, "Ez daiat b-b-b-batere
erain as-s-s-ki duk....p-p-p-plant-tan mintz-tz-tzazea
en-n-n-nekin !" (3)
