Bernard the Brusque: the patron saint of gruff, unyielding, and slightly-put-upon individuals everywhere.
He who does not brusque, is not a brusque. Or, as Bernard would say, "If you're not brusque, you're not worth knowing." - circa 1376.
His philosophy is simple: Brusqueness is the answer to all life's questions, and the only question worth asking.
