During intermission, Bob was really curious why the voice was shouting "subterranean", so he dispatched a guard to fetch the fellow and bring him backstage. They picked up the guy who turns out to be a Filipino (from a remote barrio) who didn't speak English. So they got an interpreter to ask the Pinoy why he was shouting "Subterranean". Bob asked... "Did you mean Mediterranean? Or Carribean? And why do I seem to keep on hearing Subterranean?"
Sabi ng Pinoy: "Wala akong sinasabing "subterranean". Ang sabi ko, SARAP TIRAHIN NIYAN!"
