A classic by Fil (famous Berlin comic book artist), boiled down by me (it’s originally a whole page, so I cut some stuff out, changed some things around and did some mild recoloring).

Translation (it’s all in a very thick Berlin accent):

Didi: Stulle, know what I ask myself every now and then?
Stulle: Guess you’re about to tell me, Didi.

Didi: Sometimes I ask myself: Who are we? Where do we come from? And where are we going?

Stulle: We’re Didi and Stulle. We’re from Berlin’s March district. And we’re walking to the 127 bus stop.

Didi: Could you repeat that, but this time a tad slower? I have to write this down.

    It is a bit hard to read even for native germans. Its a written down version of berlin accent, similar to the scottish english posts (from twitter or tumblr) i see around here sometimes.
