Typical of BE. Tend to your business and leave my r-affairs alone, because
I got tears all in my r-eyes. You can even hear "I r-am" as well as "I
?am." There's a no-hiatus rule. Cf, Popeye's "I yam what I yam an' that's
all that I yam."

Besides, isn't this a linking R? Intrusive R is the one in, e.g. "go[r]ne,"
overcorrected from "g[OU]n" for "gone."
