Jelly donut

I never took German in high school and college, so the humor was lost on me until Randell, our Fat Tire Bike Tour leader explained it. You know the famous speech with JFK standing in front of the Brandenburg Gate? The one where is says, "Ick bin ein Berliner"...well he technically was saying he was a jelly donut. Most Germans apparently understand what he was "trying" to say, which was, "I am a Berliner"...one of you.

Still, was an interesting sidenote.
